    Explanation:

    Requirement A

    Debit Cash $194,600

    Credit Common stock - Par value $ 22,500

    Credit Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital $172,100

    Calculation:

    Cash: 4,500 shares * $45 = $202,500

    As the company's par value is $5,

    Common stock - Par value: 4,500 shares * $5 = $22,500

    As the market value of the stock is $45, the additional stock value = $45 - $5 = $40. Moreover, the company has issuance cost of $7,900

    Additional common stock apart from par value minus the issuance cost = ($4,500 shares * $40) - $7,900 = $180,000 - $7,900 = $172,100.

    The company issue common stock with a market value of $45 and issuance cost of $7,900 in exchange of cash.

    Requirement B

    Debit Land $50,600

    Credit Common stock - Par value $ 5,500

    Credit Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital $45,100

    Calculation:

    Land: 1,100 shares * $46 = $50,600

    As the company's par value is $5,

    Common stock - Par value: 1,100 shares * $5 = $5,500

    As the market value of the stock is $46, the additional stock value = $46 - $5 = $41.

    Additional common stock apart from par value = ($1,100 shares * $41) = $45,100.

    Although the land is appraised for $49,000, due to the increased market price stock, it is valued more.

    The company issue common stock with a market value of $46 in exchange for land.

    Debit Cash $17,860

    Credit Common Stock - par value $2,350

    Credit Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital $15,510

    Calculation:

    As the company's par value is $5,

    Common stock - Par value: 470 shares * $5 = $2,350

    Additional common stock apart from par value = $470 shares * ($38 - $5) = $15,510.
