(e) Issued $1,000 of additional common stock shares, and received cash from investors

Problem 3

Shown below are several transactions for a corporation and what accounts are affected. Using the given dollar amounts, explain in words the transaction that took place. Use the transactions to create a balance sheet.

(a) Cash = +$8,000, Contributed Capital = +$8,000

(b) Cash = +$42,000, Note payable (short-term) = + $42,000

(c) Cash = ?$2,000, Equipment +$5,000, Note payable (short-term) = +$3,000
