A corporation, which has 15,000 shares of common stock outstanding, declared a 3 for 1 stock split.

(a) What will be the number of shares outstanding after the split? Its 45,000

(b) If the common stock had a market price of $240 per share before the stock split, what would be an approximate market price per share after the split? Its $80.

(c) Journalize the entry to record the stock split.

I dont know the journal entry names and what do I journalize for debt and credit. Thats where im stuck part C. I know 1 of the entries is called 3 for 1 stock split. help please

I would think that all information would stay the same, but you would still have to record the fact that you now have 45,000 shares instead of 15,000..

My accounting is a little rusty..

Thats what I was thinking, so 45,000 would be on debt and credit side.
 
On February 1 of the current year, Pace, Inc. issued 500 shares of $2 par common stock to an attorney in return for preparing and filing the articles of Incorporation. The value of the services is 7,500. Journalize this transaction.



A company has 10,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding.

Purchased equipment for 75,000, paying 25,000 in cash and issuing 4,000 shares of common stock for the equipment. Journalize entry.






Issued 1,400 shares of common stock in exchange for equipment with a fair market price of $21,000. Journalize entry.
 
This is an easy problem,

2/1 Equiptment 75,0000
>>>>>> >>> Cash 25,000
>>>>>>> >>>Common Stock 40,000
(4,000 shares X$10)

2/1 Cash 21,000
You can do the rest


>>>formatting sucks because of the website>>>

That makes no sense, it doesnt even add up evenly for debt and credit sides.
 
it's not gain or loss on disposal, but the other one,(forget the term). Its probably on the same chapter discussing gaining or losing during transactions . If i had a book I could remember those steps. Had last final today, brain dead I am.

paid in capital in excess of par value? So theres 10,000 left. Whats the whole entry for debt side and credit.

I was thinking about somthing further along earlier
 
why does the 2nd problem of the entries not seem right. There are too many things. We are not even writing account payable in chap 12. Its all with the common stock, paid in capital and so on. Why are there 2 equipment payments?

Why would you debt cash if your paying, your not receiving money.
