Answer:

Date     Account Titles and Explanation              Debit       Credit

              Land                                                         $84,000

                 Common stock                                                     $12,000

                  Paid in capital in excess of par value                 $72,000

Workings:

Amount of Common stock = Number of shares * Paid in capital per share

= 6,000 shares * $2

= $12,000

Amount of excess of paid in capital = Market value of land - Amount of common stock

= $84,000 - $12,000

= $72,000
