Records the acquisition of machinery or equipment in exchange for common stock, valued at the fair value of the asset received.

💡 Accountant's Note
When stock is issued for non-cash assets, the asset is recorded at its fair market value. The common stock account is credited for the par value, and the excess is credited to additional paid-in capital.
