The following journal entry will be made to record the given transaction:
General Journal | Debit | Credit |
Cash | $225,000 | |
Preferred stock | $75,000 | |
Additional paid in capital in excess of par- preferred | $150,000 |
Par value of per share = $15
Issue price per share = $45
Number of shares issued = 5,000
Debit to cash = Number of shares issued x Issue price per share
= 5,000 x 45
= $225,000
Credit to preferred stock = Number of shares issued x Par value of per share
= 5,000 x 15
= $75,000
Credit to additional paid in capital in excess of par - preferred = Number of shares issued x (Issue price per share - Par value of per share )

= 5,000 x 30
= $150,000
