Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry to record the stock issuance is shown below:

Cash Dr (5,000 × $10) $50,000

       To Common stock $250 (5,000 × $0.05)

       To Additional paid in capital - common stock $49,750

(Being the issuance of the shares is recorded)

Here cash is debited as it increased the assets and common stock & additional paid in capital is credited as it increased the liabilities
