    Additional paid-in CS 40,000 credit

    Explanation:

    In all cases we compare the face value of the stock agint the market value exchanged for the shares.

    a) and b) 5,000 shares x $5 par value or state value = 25,000

    as we receive 65,000 there are 40,000 aditional paid-in CS

    par value and stated value refer to the same the value printed in the shares documents

    c) we have to recognize the fees expense or the account payable if these were already accrued

    d) we debit the land received in exchange for the land
