Dusty Corporation began business on January 1, 2020. The corporate charter authorizes issuance of 100,000 shares of .01 par value common stock and 10,000 shares of $1 par value, 10% cumulative preferred stock. On July 1, 2020, Dusty issued 30,000 shares of common stock in exchange for three years of rent on a retail location. The cash rental price is $4,200 per month and the rental period begins July 1.

b. Increase prepaid rent by $151,200, and increase common stock by $151,200.

d. Increase prepaid rent by $151,200, increase common stock by $150,900, and increase additional paid-in capital by $300.

Dusty Corporation should adjust its financial statement to record the issuance of the shares on July 1, 2020 as follows:

c. Increase prepaid rent by $151,200, increase common stock by $300, and increase additional paid-in capital by $150,900.

Data and Calculations:

Authorized share capital:

100,000 shares, Common Stock at $0.01 par value = $1,000 ($100,000 x $0.01)

10,000 shares, 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock at $1 par value = $10,000 (10,000 x $1)

Analysis of Issuance:

30,000 shares, Common Stock at $0.01 par value = $300 (30,000 x $0.01)

Rental cost = $151,200 ($4,200 x 36 months)

Prepaid Expense $151,200 Common Stock $300 Additional Paid-in Capital $150,900 ($151,200 - $300)

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
