Answer:
C. $370,000
Explanation:
Poodle Corporation was organized on January 3, 2011. The firm was authorized to issue 100,000 shares of $5 par common stock.
During 2011, Poodle had the following transactions relating to shareholders' equity:
Issued 30,000 shares of common stock at $7 per share.
Issued 20,000 shares of common stock at $8 per share.
Reported a net income of $100,000.
Paid dividends of $50,000.
Therefore total Paid-in capital at the end of 2011 is derived by :
(30,000 shares x $7) + (20,000 x $8) = $370,000
Paid - In capital refers to the funds that stockholders have invested through the purchase of stock from the issuing company, including premiums and not just par value.
