Solution

The correct answer is: 15,900,000,acredittoCommonStockfor15,900,000, a credit to Common Stock for 110,000, and a credit to Additional Paid-in Capital for $15,790,000.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. The company issues 1 million shares at 15.90pershare,sothetotalamountofcashthecompanyreceivesis1,000,000shares15.90 per share, so the total amount of cash the company receives is 1,000,000 shares * 15.90/share = $15,900,000. This is the debit to Cash.

  2. The par value of the stock is 0.11pershare.Theparvalueisthevalueassignedtoashareofstockinthecompanysarticlesofincorporation.So,thetotalparvalueofthestockissuedis1,000,000shares0.11 per share. The par value is the value assigned to a share of stock in the company's articles of incorporation. So, the total par value of the stock issued is 1,000,000 shares * 0.11/share = $110,000. This is the credit to Common Stock.

  3. The Additional Paid-in Capital is the amount of money that the company received from the issuance of the stock above the par value. So, it's the total amount of cash received minus the total par value of the stock issued. That's 15,900,00015,900,000 - 110,000 = $15,790,000. This is the credit to Additional Paid-in Capital.
