Fаlcоn Ridge Ltd. cоmpleted а finаncing transactiоn involving the issuance of preferred and common shares for total proceeds of $800,000. The preferred shares have a clearly determinable fair value of $500,000 based on recent arm’s-length transactions. The common shares are newly issued in a private placement and do not have an observable market value. During the closing process, the accounting team recorded the full proceeds to common share capital, citing uncertainty around the common share valuation. In addition, $40,000 of directly attributable issuance costs were recorded as a financing expense in the income statement. The CFO has asked the controller to finalize the proper allocation of proceeds and correct the treatment of issuance costs. One member of the team has suggested allocating gross proceeds first and then treating issuance costs separately, while another suggests that costs should reduce the total amount allocated across equity instruments. After correcting both the allocation approach and the treatment of issuance costs, what amount should be reported as common share capital?
