Sudoku Company issues 26,000 shares of $8 par value common stock in exchange for land and a building. The land is valued at $235,000 and the building at $380,000. Prepare the journal entry to record issuance of the stock in exchange for the land and building.

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry to record the issuance of the stock in exchange of the land and the building is as follows:

Land $235,000

Building $380,000

            To Common stock, $8 par value (26,000 shares × $8) $208,000

            To Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock $407,000

(To record the  issuance of the stock in exchange of the land and the building)

Here the land and building is debited as it increased the assets and the common stock and its paid in capital is credited as it also increased the stockholder equity
