I would like to know what the journal entry would be for the purchase of a Property. This property was purchased in cash with private owners funds.

Should I account for the Building and Land Separately? And since the cash paid was the owners own funds, what would be the account to credit?

So the owner put this land and building in the company's name?

Then Credit Contributed Capital, Donated Capital or something along those lines.
