    b. Issue of common stock for $150 million in cash

    Explanation:

    Since the journal entry would be

    Cash A/c Dr $150 million

    To Common stock A/c $100 million

    To Paid-in capital - the excess of par $50 million

    (Being the common stock is issued)

    In this transaction, the common stock is issued for cash of $150 million in which the common stock is $100 million and the remaining balance $50 million ($150 million - $100 million) would be credited to the paid-in capital account.

    Hence, the correct option is b.
