Answer:

Land A/c Dr $3,360,000

To Common stock A/c $2,400,000

To Additional paid in capital - in excess of par - common stock A/c $960,000

(Being the exchange transaction is recorded)

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Land A/c Dr $3,360,000

To Common stock A/c $2,400,000

To Additional paid in capital - in excess of par - common stock A/c $960,000

(Being the exchange transaction is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

For land

= 30,000 shares × $112

= $3,360,000

For Common stock

= 30,000 shares × $80

= $2,4000,000

And, the remaining balance is credited to the additional paid in capital account
