Respuesta :

Answer:

$500 credit

Explanation:

Given that

Number of authorized shares = 1,000 shares

Stated value per share = $10

Issued shares = 50 shares

Initial offering = $20 per share

So based on above information, the journal entry is

Cash $500    (50 shares × $10)

     To Common stock $500

(Being the common stock is issued is recorded)

While recording this transaction we debited the cash account as it increased the asset side and credited the common stock as the equity is increased so that the proper posting could be done
