Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution: Following will be the Journal entry to sell 50 shares of $10 par ordinary shares at $16 per share:

Debit $ Credit $
Cash Account (50 Shares x $16)                                                                                                         800
                 Common Stock (50 Shares x $10) 500
                 Additional Paid-In Capital (50 Shares x $6) 300

Cash Account being Real Account will be debited by the total amount received. Common Stock being a Liability will be credited with the Face Value of the share and Additional Paid-In Capital being a Liability will be credited with the premium amount.

Therefore, the Correct Option is Option C: 500 credit to share capital
