Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the stock issuance is shown below:
Cash Dr (5,000 × $10) $50,000
To Common stock $250 (5,000 × $0.05)
To Additional paid in capital - common stock $49,750
(Being the issuance of the shares is recorded)
Here cash is debited as it increased the assets and common stock & additional paid in capital is credited as it increased the liabilities
