To expand operations, Aragon Consulting issued 1,000 shares of previously unissued common stock with a par value of $1. The price for the stock was $50 per share. Analyze the accounting equation effects and record the journal entry for the stock issuance. Would your answer be different if the par value were $2 per share? If so, analyze the accounting equation effects and record the journal for the stock issuance with a par value of $2.

Answer:

The journal entry to record this transaction would be:

Dr Cash 50,000

    Cr Common stock 1,000

    Cr Additional paid in capital 49,000

this transaction basically increases current assets (cash account) and increases equity (common stock and additional paid in capital accounts).

If the par value was $2 per stock, then the journal entry should have been:

Dr Cash 50,000

    Cr Common stock 2,000

    Cr Additional paid in capital 48,000

the difference is that common stock account will increase by $2,000 instead of $1,000, and additional paid in capital account will increase by only $48,000. But both accounts are part of stockholders' equity,

Journal entry is the recording of each monetary business transaction in the books of accounts in chronological order. The journal entry uses a dual entry bookkeeping system, as it gives a dual effect of each business transaction.

The analysis of the accounting equation effect is as follows:

  • When the par value is $1 the transaction will increase current assets by $50,000 in the cash account, it will increase owners' equity by $1,000 in common stock and it will increase additional paid-in capital by $49,000.

  • When the par value is $2 the transaction will not change the value of the current asset, but it will increase owners' equity by $2,000 in common stock and it will increase additional paid-in capital by $48,000.
