    Debit Cash account $57,000

    Credit Shares capital $3,000

    Credit Share premium $54,000

    Being entries to record cash received from the issuance of shares

    Explanation:

    Par value per share = $1

    Issue price per share = $19

    Premium per share from issue = $19 - $1

    = $18

    Number of issued shares = 3000

    Share capital balance from issue = 3000 * $1

    = $3000

    Premium balance = 3000 * $18

    = $54,000

    Cash received from Issue = 3000 * $19

    = $57,000
