John has authorized 100,000 common shares and 25,000 preferred shares. The preferred stock will be cumulative and pay $9 dividends. John wants to keep control of his business, so he will keep his 60,000 common shares and will sit on the board of directors.

John has located a few private investors that wish to purchase stock in the corporation. Some want common stock, while other are interested in preferred stock. On January 20, 2018, John issues 30,000 common shares for $75,000 cash and issues 7,000 preferred shares for $28,000 cash.

On March 1, 2018, Grindstone Paving issued and sold $200,000, 6 year bonds with an interest rate of 7%. The market rate at the time of issue was 8%. Any premium or discount on the bond is amortized using the straight line method. Interest will be paid annually on February 28. Use a 4 decimal factor for the bond calculation.

During 2018, the company has performed well, so the board of directors decided to pay dividends. On November 30, 2018, the company declared cash dividends of $90,000, which will be paid out on December 15, 2018. Use the cash dividends method and close cash dividends at the end of the year.

Prepare the journal entries for the issue of stock, issue of the bonds and the dividends. Also prepare adjustments at year end to accrue interest on the bond.

At the end of the year, Grindstone Paving has the following list of accounts and adjusted balances.

- The expansion into landscaping services did not go as planned and had to be discontinued.

- All balances are normal balances.

- Complete the list by filling in the missing values from the journal entries you created during the year.

- The cash balance includes all transactions during the year, including the ones you prepared.

- Interest expense includes interest accrued on the bond plus interest paid on the bank loan.

- Interest payable will only contain interest accrued.

Assume the tax rate is 30%. Assume income tax has already been paid. You will just have to calculate the income tax expense on the income statement.
