    A. Flint's journal entry if the stock has no stated value

    Dr Bank ... 7,800

    Cr Common Stock ... 7,800

    To record the issuance of 700 shares of stock.

    B. Flint's journal entry if the stock has a stated value of $2 per share

    Dr Bank ... 7,800

    Cr Common Stock ... (700 shares @ $2 par per share ... 1,400

    Cr Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value ... 6,400

    To record the issuance of 700 shares of stock @ $2 par per share.

    Explanation:

    In scenario a, where there is no stated par value, there is no way to distinguish between share capital and share premium, hence everything is recorded under common stock but in scenario b, with par value stated, the excess amounts have to be recorded separately as amount received in excess of par value.
