Common Stock account will be credited with par value / stated value only.
Remaining amount will credited to Premium account or amount above par value of shares
As the number of share issued is 5,000
Here, stated/par value of share is $ 15 per share, so common stock will be credited with 75,000 (15 * 5,000)
