This is what I come up with, please check them over and let me know if I have not done them correctly and how to do them.
Thanks

I started to look this and quite honestly, freaked when I saw you'd put SO much into one post!! I'm sorry, but this is just too mcuh to deal with all at once. I spent quite a bit of time just going through the initial stock issuance entries, just to look at the rest of the thread and realize you'd posted a whole crapload of stuff all at once.

I only looked through the initial stock issuance part and have ignored the rest. It took me quite some time just to do this one part.

Also, please always put Dr and Cr in front of your entries, since in this format we really have no way of knowing which are which, other than to assume you've listed debits first and that you're correct. (And personally, I don't like assuming anything.)

(a) and (b) are fine. As for (c) that's a bit "iffy." Technically, you should be going by whichever is more reasonably determinable in terms of market value. I did some checking in a textbook and it says if the market value of the stock can be determine that that is what you are supposed to use. That comes out to a difference of $50,000, which would then have to be pro-rated off the values of the land and the building. I will grant you two things here. One, that I've always worked for small companies (mostly partnerships and S corporations) and never in "real work" have ever gotten into entries like this. That means basically that this is all "textbook" work to me. And second, things can change and my old textbooks are years old. It's possible they've changed the rules. However, the book I'm using states clearly that if the market value of the stock can be determine, that is what should be used. But you should check on this in your own textbook to be sure.

As for (d) -- stock should always be listed at the par value, which is $10. You should not be listing the common stock account at $32,000 because that is not par value. It needs split between par at $10 per share for the Common Stock account, and the $6 per share that is in excess of the par.

(e) -- It appears that this is correct. Not only is it helpful if you list Dr and Cr before each line of the entry, it also helps if you separate the entries. Being done on the same date doesn't make it one entry. But it appears to be correct. And so does (f).

And that's where I stopped. Can you please separate these into separate posts.
