Debit Cash $70,000; Debit Land $130,000; Credit Common Stock, $200,000

Explanation:

The owner's equity represents the amount provided by the owners of a business. At commencement, the owners may decide to introduce money into the business or shares or even assets.

Any of these will be recognized as the shareholder's equity at the start of the business.

As such, when cash is introduced, the entries to be recorded are between cash and common stock. When an asset is introduced, the worth is recorded as common stock.
