    Cash and contributed capital

    Explanation:

    The journal entry to record the sale of common stock is shown below:

    Cash A/c Dr $45,000

    To Common stock A/c $45,000

    (Being the common stock is sold)

    For recording this transaction, we debited the cash account as the sale is made which increases the asset and credited the common stock account because the common stock is sold which reduces the equity balance.
