Alpha Sounds Corp., an electric guitar retailer, was organized by Michele Kirby, Paul Glenn, and Gretchen Northway. The charter authorized 1,000,000 shares of common stock with a par of $1. The following transactions affecting stockholders’ equity were completed during the first year of operations: Jan. 2 Issued 84,000 shares of stock at par to Paul Glenn for cash. 5 Issued 2,100 shares of stock at par to Michele Kirby for promotional services provided in connection with the organization of the corporation and issued 40,600 shares of stock at par to Michele Kirby for cash. (record as two separate transactions.) 8 Purchased land and a building from Gretchen Northway in exchange for stock issued at par. The building is mortgaged for $184,100 for 20 years at 6%, and there is accrued interest of $4,800 on the mortgage note at the time of the purchase. It is agreed that the land is to be priced at $60,200 and the building at $228,300 and that Gretchen Northway’s equity will be exchanged for stock at par. The corporation agreed to assume responsibility for paying the mortgage note and the accrued interest. Required: Journalize the entries to record the transactions. Refer to the chart of accounts for the exact wording of the account titles. CNOW journals do not use lines for journal explanations. Every line on a journal page is used for debit or credit entries. CNOW journals will automatically indent a credit entry when a credit amount is entered.
