Answer 1

Answer:

$125,026

Explanation:

Common Shares                                      3,600

Fair value                                                  $20

Total market value of common stock    $72,000

Preferred shares                                        5,600

Fair value                                                   $20

Total market value of preferred stock     $112,000

Lump Sum amount                                    $205,400

Amount of proceeds should be allocated to the preferred stock = 205,400 * (112,000 / (72,000 + 112,000) ) = $125,026
