Answer:

Option e is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The issuance of common stock in exchange of land would mean a debit to the asset account for land at the market value for the land which is $82000. The other side of the transaction would contain two accounts- a credit to the Common Stock account and a credit to the Paid in/Contributed Capital in excess of Par value, Common Stock.

The value of Common Stock will be = 7000 * 10 = 70000

The remaining of 82000 - 70000 = 12000 will be credited to the contributed capital in excess of par value account.

The entry to record this transaction will be,
