Explanation:

Requirement A

Debit      Cash                                         $194,600

Credit     Common stock - Par value                             $ 22,500

Credit     Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital   $172,100

Calculation:

Cash:  4,500 shares × $45 = $202,500

As the company's par value is $5,

Common stock - Par value: 4,500 shares × $5 = $22,500

As the market value of the stock is $45, the additional stock value = $45 - $5 = $40. Moreover, the company has issuance cost of $7,900

Additional common stock apart from par value minus the issuance cost = ($4,500 shares × $40) - $7,900 = $180,000 - $7,900 = $172,100.

The company issue common stock with a market value of $45 and issuance cost of $7,900 in exchange of cash.

Credit     Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital   $45,100

Calculation:

Land:  1,100 shares × $46 = $50,600

As the company's par value is $5,

Common stock - Par value: 1,100 shares × $5 = $5,500

As the market value of the stock is $46, the additional stock value = $46 - $5 = $41.

Additional common stock apart from par value = ($1,100 shares × $41) = $45,100.

Although the land is appraised for $49,000, due to the increased market price stock, it is valued more.

The company issue common stock with a market value of $46 in exchange for land.
