If you are investing Cash into the shares of a company, Able...

THen your cash will go down, and your capital stock will go up.

Therefore, answer A

Agree.

Although, technically this question is poorly written.

If you invest cash into a company, you would record:

Dr: Investment in Company XYZ
Cr: Cash

The company you invested in would record:

Dr. Cash
Cr. Capital - Company XYZ
