Answer:
Felix Incorporated
Exchange of Preferred Stock for Land:
Journal Entries:
Debit Land $90,000
Credit Preferred Stock $81,250
Credit Additional Paid-in Capital - Preferred Stock $8,750
To record the issue of 1,250 of $65 par-value preferred stock for land with a fair price of $90,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Felix Incorporated will debit Land with the fair price of $90,000 and Credit the Preferred Stock account with $81,250 (1,250 x $65) at par-value. The difference between the fair price of land and the preferred stock at par-value is credited to additional paid-in capital account for preferred stock. Felix Incorporated cannot take into account the current market value of the stock at $75 in its accounting records. The current share price of $75 is for the benefit of investors, and can only serve as basis for Felix Incorporated to decide transactions with potential investors.
