Okay, I have questions about how to go about these below, our last quiz was all about fair value, bonds, and investments, but they didn't have us prepare any journal entries for them, so I guess I'm a little confused as to which sections would be debits vs credits. I believe, if I am thinking correctly that the initial investment or stock issued would be a debit, and then a cash to credit, but I feel like I am missing something. Also, with split stock, is it always 1/2... Or can it be split into another number?
