Respuesta :

Answer:

Debit land with $233,000

Debit building with $371,000

Credit common stock with $216,000

Credit premium on common stock with $388,000

Explanation:

Value of share = 27,000 × $8 = 216,000

Total value of a land and a building = $233,000 + $371,000 = $604,000

Share premium = $604,000 - 216,000 = $388,000

The journal entries will be as follows:

Details                                                       Dr ($)             Cr ($)

Land                                                       233,000

Building                                                   371,000

Common stock                                                              216,000

Premium on common stock                                         388,000

Being the issue of common stock at a premium in exchange for a land and a building

Journal entry

Particulars                         Dr ($)             Cr ($)

Land                                  233,000

Building                             371,000

Common stock                                        216,000

Premium on common stock                   388,000

First, we need to compute the value of share.

Value of share

= 27,000 × $8

= $216,000

We will as get the total value of land and building.

Total value of a land and a building

= $233,000 + $371,000

= $604,000

Share premium

= $604,000 - 216,000

= $388,000

Hence, journal entry to record issuance of the stock in exchange for the land and building would be;

Particulars                         Dr ($)             Cr ($)

Land                                  233,000

Building                             371,000

Common stock                                        216,000

Premium on common stock                   388,000

(Being the issuance of common stock at a premium in exchange for land and building)
