Answer 1

To record the transactions in the company's books, entries need to be made for each transaction. The entries include debiting and crediting various accounts based on the impact of the transaction. No entry is required for the declaration of dividends.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prepare the entries for the transactions, we need to analyze each transaction and determine its impact on the company's accounts.

1. April 1: Issued 21,500 additional shares of common stock for $18 per share.
   • Debit: Cash (21,500 x $18) = $387,000
   • Credit: Common Stock (21,500 x $5) = $107,500
   • Credit: Additional Paid-in Capital (21,500 x ($18 - $5)) = $279,500
2. June 15: Declared a cash dividend of $3 per share to stockholders of record on June 30.
   • No entry required
3. July 10: Paid the $3 cash dividend.
   • Debit: Dividends Payable (90,000 x $3) = $270,000
   • Credit: Cash (90,000 x $3) = $270,000
4. December 1: Issued 1,000 additional shares of common stock for $19 per share.
   • Debit: Cash (1,000 x $19) = $19,000
   • Credit: Common Stock (1,000 x $5) = $5,000
   • Credit: Additional Paid-in Capital (1,000 x ($19 - $5)) = $14,000
5. December 15: Declared a cash dividend of $1.90 per share to stockholders of record on December 31.
   • No entry required
