    Paid in capital in excess of par ($102,000+$93000) $195,000

    Total paid in capital $605,000

    Retained earnings ($170,000-$85,000) $85,000

    Shareholders equity $690,000

    Explanation:

    The issue of 51,000 shares issue would result in cash proceeds of $357,000 with $255,000 recorded in Common stock account and the balance of $102,000 shown in paid-in capital in excess of par.
