b. Liabilities go up, Equity goes down.
c. Assets go down, Liabilities goes down.
d. Assets go down, Equity goes up.
e. None of the above.
Answer: e. None of the above.
The journal entry for this transaction is as follows:
| Account titles | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Cash (400,000 shares * $25) | $10,000,000 | |
| Stock capital (400,000 shares * $1) | $400,000 | |
| Additional paid in capital | $9,600,000 |
Cash is an asset, whil stock capital and additional paid in capital are equity. A debit on assets is an increase (go up) and a credit on equities are also increases, therefore, both assets and equity will go up as a result of the transaction.
