Answer 1

Answer:

(A)

cash               110,000  debit

      common stock              5,000 credit

      additional paid-in CS   81,086 credit

      preferred stock            10,000 credit

      additional paid-in PS   13, 914 credit

(B)

cash               110,000  debit

      common stock               5,000 credit

      additional paid-in CS   90,000 credit

      preferred stock             10,000 credit

      additional paid-in PS      5,000 credit

Explanation:

Market Value

500 x 180 = 90,000  0,7826 CS

100 x 225 = 25,000  0, 2174 Preferred

total             115,000

Issuance:    110,000

Preferred: 21.74% of 110,000 = 23,914

face value:            100 x100     10,000

additional paid-in                     13,914

Common: 78.26% of 110,000 = 86,086

face value:          500 x 10      =   5,000

additional paid-in                        81,086

If we can only determinate the common stock:

total issuance - common stock = preferred stock

110,000 - 190 x 500 = 110,000 -  95,000 = 15,000 preferred stock

additional paid-in CS: 110,000 - 5,000 = 105,000

additional paid-in PS: 15,000 - 10,000 = 5,000
