Folks, I have a situation where a startup can no longer afford to pay employees so they are compensating with unrestricted stock. For simplicity, par value is $0.01 and the value of each shares is $0.02. The company currently has a negative Stockholder's Equity. IMO, #3 is the proper way to book the transaction. #2 is probably OK as #3 simply grosses up everything.

Your pick, #3, has the company recording income for paying a consultant. What is your reasoning?

#2 and #3 are the same. One is net and the other is gross. Consultants normal pay is $15K. Any comments?

Never answered my question. So I assume you are OK and we are done.
