Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry for issuance of the shares is as follows:
Cash Dr (5,000 × $15) $75,000
To Common stock(5,000 × $1) $5,000
To Additional paid in capital $70,000
(being the issuance of the shares is recorded)
Here the cash is debited as it increased the assets and credited the common stock and additional paid in capital as it increased the equity
