    The amount of $145,000 will be the additional paid-in capital account increase as a result of this transaction

    Explanation:

    The journal entry which is to be recorded on issuing the stock will be as:

    Equipment A/c ... Dr $160,000

    Common Stock A/c ... Cr $15,000

    Paid in Capital A/c ... Cr $145,000

    Working Note:

    Equipment = Number of shares * Price per share (Stock trading price)

    = 1,000 * $160

    = $160,000

    Common Stock (At Par) = Number of shares * Price par common stock

    = 1,000 * $15

    = $15,000

    Paid in capital A/c = Equipment - Common Stock

    = $160,000 - $15,000

    = $145,000

    Note: Neither the book value nor its original historical equipment cost is the appropriate basis for the market valuation.
