    option (D) $116,000

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Cash paid by Maxwell = $200,000

    Shares issued = 6,000

    Fair value of shares = $20

    Amount paid in stock issuance = $4,000

    The book values of Daisy's net assets = $230,000

    The fair values of Daisy's net assets = $265,000

    Now,

    The additional paid capital

    = Shares issued * Fair value per share - Amount paid in stock issuance

    = 6,000 * $20 - $4,000

    = $120,000 - $4,000

    = $116,000

    Hence, the correct answer is option (D) $116,000
