Answer:
Explanation:
We assume the 8 million shares are sold at $1 par common stock
The journal entry to record the issuance of common stock is shown below:
Cash A/c Dr $96,000,000 ($8,000,000 × $12)
To Common Stock $8,000,000 ($8,000,000 × $1)
To Additional Paid-in Capital in excess of par - Common Stock $88,000,000
(Being the issuance of stock is recorded and the remaining balance is credited to the additional paid-in capital account)
While issuing the stock, we debited the cash account and credited the common stock and additional paid-in capital account
