Assets was increased by $500,000 (100,000shares*$5 each= $500,000)


b) Issued 10,000 shares of common stock for a building and land. The building was appraised for $20,000, but the value of the land is undeterminable. The stock is selling for $10 ob the open market.

Assets was increased because building was appraised for $20,000 and 10000*10 = 100000 (so land value is 100000 – 20000 = 80000 )


c) Purchased 1,000 shares of its own common stock on the open market for $16 per share.

Assets was because they Purchased 1,000 shares @ $16(1000*16 = 16000)
