    legal fees 15,000 debit

    common stock 8,000 credit

    paid-in in excess of par value 7,000 credit

    Explanation:

    the legal fee expense is for 15,000 so we will recognize the expense for that amount.

    the stock have a face value of $1 but, the laywer agree to recieve up to 8,000 which means thre is an additoonal paid-in for 7,000 which is the deifference between the expense amount and the shares face value.

    That will be recorded in the journal entry.
