The correct journal entries for Smith Company when Smith issues 10,000 shares of $10 par value common stock and pays $20,000 cash in exchange for the building is:

A. Building Db 270,000

Cash Cr 20,000

Common stock Cr 100,000

Additional paid-in capital Cr 150,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Market price of stock = $35 per share

Building's book value = $250,000

Issue of 10,000 shares of $10 par value:

Common Stock $100,000 (10,000 * $10)

Additional paid-in capital $250,000 (at market price)

Cash $20,000

b) While the market price is $35 per share, the price at which the assets were exchanged will be reduced to $25 per share, since there was no receipt of cash from the seller of the building.
