Answer 1

Dr Merchandise inventory 50,000

Dr Notes receivable 100,000

Cr Common stock 62,000

Cr Additional paid in capital in excess of par value 243,000

Step-by-step explanation:

All outstanding stocks must be recorded at par value: 3,100 shares x $20 = $62,000. Any mount paid for the stocks in excess of par value must be recorded in the additional paid in capital in excess of par value account : $305,000 - $62,000 = $243,000
