    Double entry is given in the explanation.

    Explanation:

    Part A. The common stock is always recorded at par which is $3 per share here and the Capital Paid In is the remainder amount which is calculated as under:

    Capital Paid In = Cash Received - Common Stock

    Here,

    Capital Received is $305,000

    Capital Stock = 45,000 shares * $3 par value = $135,000

    By putting the values, we have:

    Capital Paid In = $305,000 - $135,000 = $170,000

    Double Entry would be:

    Dr Cash $305,000

    Cr Common Stock $135,000

    Cr Capital Paid In $170,000

    Part B. The common stock of the stocks that are issued at no par value is always recorded at money received which means there is no capital paid-in.

    Double Entry would be:

    Dr Cash $75,000

    Cr Common Stock $75,000

    Part C. The inventory received is worth $44,000 which would be debited to inventory account. In exchange of inventory $44,000 and machinery worth $160,000 (Machinery will also be debited), 2500 shares having $25 par value (common stock will be credited at par and the excess of par would be capital paid-in) and $94,000 note payables were issued (Note payable would be credited at $94,000).

    Double Entry would be:

    Dr Inventory $44,000

    Dr Machinery $160,000

    Cr Note Payable $94,000

    Cr Common Stock (2000 * $25) $50,000

    Cr Capital Paid In (Balancing Figure) $60,000
