Alvaro Horne · Answer 1

b. number of shares issued is 80,000

Explanation:

In the question, the common stock par value and the total amount is given. Moreover, paid-in capital is also given.

So, if we compute it, then it gives the number of shares issued because it contains a formula which is shown below:

Number of shares issued = (Common stock : Par value)

= ($80,000 : $1)

= 80,000 shares

So, paid-in capital is not relevant in the computation part, and therefore, the other options are wrong except b. option.
