    The Paid-in Capital in Excess of Stated Value account will increase by $838,500

    Explanation:

    The journal entry to record the issuance of common stock is shown below:

    Cash A/c Dr $1,268,500 (43,000 shares * $29.50)

    To Common Stock $430,000 (43,000 shares * $10)

    To Additional Paid-in Capital in excess of par - Common Stock $838,500

    (Being the issuance of stock is recorded and the remaining balance is credited to the additional paid-in capital account)

    While issuing the stock, we debited the cash account and credited the common stock and additional paid-in capital account
