Answer:

The record of the issuance of the stock is debit to cash for $50,000, credit to common stock for $10,000 and credit to excess of common stock of $40,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Entries of the stock

1. Account(cash)

Cash=10,000 shares at $5 per share

Cash=10,000×5=$50,000

Cash to Debit=$50,000

Credit this account=$0

2. Account (common stock)

Common stock=10,000 shares at $1 per value common stock

Common stock=10,000×1=$10,000

Credit account=$10,000

Debit this account=$0

3. Account (Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par - Common Stock)

Paid in capital in excess of par-common stock=50,000-10,000=$40,000

Credit this account=$40,000

Debit this account=$0

This can be written as;

Account Debit ($) Credit ($)

Cash (10,000 shares×$5 price) 50,000

Common Stock (10,000 shares×$1 par) 10,000

Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par - Common Stock 40,000

The record of the issuance of the stock is debit to cash for $50,000, credit to common stock for $10,000 and credit to excess of common stock of $40,000.
