Whenever a company sells stock it must record the transaction under common stock account at par value (= 200 shares x $10 = $2,000). Any extra money received must be recorded as capital paid in excess of par value (= $10,000 - $2,000). The basis for the land that Jose Garcia contributes must be its fair market value ($10,000).
