    general journal
    Wondering if I have the correct General Journal entry


    The Cottor Corporation is a newly organized firm whick is authorized to issue 15,000 shares of no-par common stock and 3,000 shares of $100 par value preferred stock. The common stock has been assigned a stated value of $10 per shares

    An incorporator received 400 shares of perferred stock in exchange for the following assets,which will be taken over by the coroporation;

    1. Equipment which had cost the incorporaator $30,000,and on wgich $12,000 of depreciation had been taken.The approved fair market value of the equipment was $15,000.

    2. Merchandise inventory which had cost the incorporator $37,000. The fair market value of inventory was $38,000

    To have correct journal
    I thought the entry would be

    Equipment $15,000
    Merchandise Inventory $38,000
    Perferred Stock $40,000
    Premium on preferred Stock $13,000

    Can you tell me if I have done this correct and if not where I went wrong
    thanks in advance
