J/E For Owner Contributions For New Property Purchase
I'm stumped, any help is appreciated. Shareholders contribute $2,700,00 to the purchase of a property. The actual property purchase price is $2,500,000, leaving excess contributions which should be moved to equity account. What am I doing wrong?
J/E #1
Dr Opening Balance $2,700,000
Cr Shareholder Accounts $2,700,000
J/E #2:
The purchase price is $2,500,000:
Dr Opening Balance $2,500,000
Cr Buildings & Other Depreciable Assets $2,000,000
CR Closing Costs $500,000
How do I reallocate the remaining $200,000 out of the opening balance to reach a 0 balance? If I Cr the opening balance, that results in a Dr to shareholder equity account. Thank you.
