Coronado Industries has issued 1,500 shares of common stock and 300 shares of preferred stock for a lump sum of $55,000 cash.
1). Give the entry for the issuance assuming the par value of the common stock was $5 and the fair value $30, and the par value of the preferred stock was $40 and the fair value $50. (Each valuation is on a per share basis and there are ready markets for each stock.)
2). Give the entry for the issuance assuming the same facts as the par value of the common stock was $5 and the fair value of $22 per share, and the par value of the preferred stock was $40 and has no ready market.
Requirement 1:
Fair value of Common Stock = 1500*30 = 45,000
Fair value of preferred stock = 300*50 = 15,000
Total fair value = 45,000 +15,000 = $60,000
However , cash received from stock is $55,000 only.
the excess par value should be allocated based on fair value weightage ( 45:15)
No | Account and explanation | Debit | Credit |
Cash | $ 55,000 | ||
Preferred stock (300*40) | $ 12,000 | ||
Paid in capital in excess of par value-Preferred stock ( 55,000 x 15/60 -12,000) | $ 1,750 | ||
Common Stock (1500*5) | $ 7,500 | ||
Paid in capital in excess of par value-Common Stock (55000*45/60-7500) | $ 33,750 |
Fair value of Common Stock = 1500*30 = 45,000
Fair value of preferred stock = 300*50 = 15,000
