A) debit Cash $10,800; credit Common Stock $6,000; credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par–Common Stock $4,800.
Explanation: cash = total paid in capital (shares × issue price); common stock = shares × par value; p-i-c in excess is number of shares × (issue price - par). Ex: 1,200 × $9 = $10,800 cash; 1,200 × $5 = $6,000 common stock; 1,200 ($9 - $5) = $4,800 p-i-c in excess.
