When a company issues 32,000 shares of $5 par value common stock for $50 per share, the journal entry for this issuance would include:
Number of shares issued = 32,000
Par value of 1 common share = $5
Issued price of 1 common share = $50
Cash will be debited by = Number of shares issued x Issued price of 1 common share
= 32,000 x 50
= $1,600,000
Common stock will be credited by = Number of shares issued x Par value of 1 common share
= 32,000 x 5
= $160,000
Paid in capital in excess of par - Common will be credited by = Number of shares issued x (Issued price of 1 common share - Par value of 1 common share)
= 32,000 x (50 - 5)
= 1,440,000
