I am afraid, I can not solve the problem for you, but I can surely guide you how to go about it. I think, you are not sure about Mar 13 issue of shares.

Please remember that the transaction is to be recorded "either" at the fair value received or fair value given up, whichever is easily determinable.

Use this concept and solve it and present your work for further guidance.
