Answer:

The Journal entry is as follows:

Cash A/c                    Dr. $29,700

To common stock                            $27

To Additional Paid in Capital in excess of par - Common Stock $29,673

Workings:

Shares issued = 2,700

Par value common stock to provide funds for further expansion = $0.01

Issue price = $11 per share

cash = Shares issued × Issue price per share

       =  2,700 × $11

       = $29,700

Common Stock = Shares issued × Par value common stock

                          = 2,700 × $0.01

                          = $27

Additional Paid in Capital in excess of par - Common Stock:

= cash - Common Stock

= $29,700 - $27

= $29,673
