excess of Par value stock 12,500.00

Answer 2

The correct entry is to debit cash $62,500, credit the common stock account $50,000 and credit additional paid in capital $12,500. The par value of the stock is credited to the stock account and any money received above par value is recorded as paid-in capital. Both these accounts represent legal capital, that is, amounts that may not be returned to shareholders except under special circumstances such as a liquidation. Legal capital represents a safety cushion for creditors, by ensuring that some assets are available to repay debts.

No, it isn't (a). It's (d) cos you received 5,000 shares x $12.50 per share.
