common stock share premium                     $240,000

preference shares (8 000 units)                   $80,000

preference share premium                            $36,000

Profit (net income)                                           $ 38,000

                                                                          $1,114,000      

Explanation:

common stock account (100,000 + 20,000) x $6 par value = $720,000

common stock premium per unit is calculated $18 minus par value of $6 = $12. total premium is 12 x 20,000 units issued= $240,000

Preference shares account = (5000+3000) x $10 = $80,000

preference share premium (22 minus 10) = $12 per unit

total preference shares premium is $12 x 3000 issued units= $36,000
