Dwayne Davis · Answer 1

a. $370,000.

Explanation:

The first would be to define additional paid-in that would be the amount paid over face value if the face value is 100 and the share at issued at 105 then there is a 5$ additional paid-in per share.

With that in noticed we are going to check the transaction during 2018:

30,000 at $7 ($5 face value $2 additional paid in) 20,000 at $8 ($5 face value $3 additional paid in)

Common stock

we got 50,000 issued with their face of $5 = 250,000

additional paid-in capital would be

30,000 shares at $2 = $60,000

and 20,000 shares at $3 = $60,000

additional paid-in $120,000

The total paid-in would be

250,000 common stock

+ 120,000 additional paid-in

Equal to 370,000
