Explanation:
The journal entry is as follows:
Land Dr $70,000
Additional paid in capital $5,000
To Common stock $75,000
(Being the common stock is issued in exchanged for cash)
The computation of the additional paid in capital is shown below:
= Common stock - the appraised value of land
where,
The common stock = 750 shares × $100 = $75,000
And, the appraised value of land is $70,000
So, the remaining balance is
= $75,000 - $70,000
= $5,000
The $5,000 would be recorded as an additional paid in capital
