Answer 1

a. $20.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Common Stock = $150,000

Additional Paid-in Capital = $850,000

Par Value per share = $3

So,

Number of shares issued = Common Stock ÷ Par Value per share

= $150,000 ÷ $3

= 50,000

Now

Total Common Stock Equity = Common Stock + Additional Paid-in Capital

= $150,000 + $850,000

= $1,000,000

So,

Average Issue Price per share = Total Common Stock Equity ÷ Number of shares issued

= $1,000,000 ÷ 50,000

= $20.00
