Shares issued to a vendor in payment of business purchased would require a debit to?

  • A cash account and credit to share capital account
  • B share capital account and credit to vendor's account
  • C vendor's account and credit to share capital account
  • D share capital account and credit to cash account

The correct answer is C. vendor's account and credit to share capital account

This is because the vendor’s account is debited (increased) to record the cost of the business purchased, and the share capital account is credited (increased) to reflect the issue of new shares.
