Step 1

Journal Entry :— It is an act of recording transaction when it is occured in books of accounts for bookkeeping. 

 

When issue price of common stock is greater than face value per share then the difference of the face value and cash received is credited to paid in capital in excess of par value of common stock.

 

When issue price of preferred stock is greater than face value per share then the difference of the face value and cash received is credited to paid in capital in excess of par value of preferred stock. 

 

For common stock 

Face value per share = $1 

Issue price = $50,000/10,000 = $5 

 

For preferred stock (Apr 12)

Face Value per share = $10

Issue price = $12,500/500 = $25
