    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    The Journal entry is as follows:

    Cash A/c (8,500 * $16) Dr. $136,000

    To Common stock $85,000

    To Paid in Capital in Excess of Par $51,000

    Workings:

    Common stock:

    = Shares of stock * Par value of stock

    = 8,500 shares * $10

    = $85,000

    Paid in Capital in Excess of Par:

    = 8,500 shares * ($16 - $10)

    = 8,500 shares * $6

    = $51,000
