검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand that Common Stock is an equity account representing ownership in a corporation.
Recall the accounting rule that equity accounts increase with credits and decrease with debits.
When a corporation issues shares for cash, it receives an asset (cash), which increases with a debit entry.
Simultaneously, the Common Stock account increases, so it is credited to reflect the issuance of shares.
Therefore, the journal entry for issuing shares for cash debits Cash and credits Common Stock, showing the increase in equity.
