Explanation / Answer

1. d) Since the common shares are no par therefore, the entry would be:

Common shares Dr. 5,504 ( 1,926,400/175,000*500)

Retained Earning Dr. 20,496 (balancing figure)

To Cash 26,000

2. Common shares, no par - 182,500 shares (175,000-500) at $1,920,896 (1,926,400 - 5,504) and 8,000 shares at 280,000 = 2,200,896

Retained earning - 274,504 (310,000 - 15,000 - 20,496)
