Answer 2

Answer:

Feb 1=> Cash ( debit) = 2,444,000.

Prefered stock (credit) = 2,350,000.

Paid in capital in excess of par value-preferred stock(credit) = 94000.

July 1=> Cash (debit) = 3,500,000.

Prefered stock (credit) = 3,125,000.

Paid in capital in excess of par value-preferred stock(credit) = 375000.

Explanation:

(A). On FEB. 1, the accounts and Explanation is given below:

Cash ( debit) = 2,444,000 {that is from; 47,000 × $52}.

Prefered stock (credit) = 2,350,000 { that is from; 47,000 × $50}.

Paid in capital in excess of par value-preferred stock(credit) = 2,444,000 - 2,350,000 = 94,000.

(B). On JULY 1, the accounts and Explanation is given below;

"July 1 Issued 62,500 shares for cash at $56 per share."

=> Cash (debit) = 62500 × 56 = 3,500,000.

Prefered stock (credit) = 3,125,000 { that is from; 62,500 × $50}.

Paid in capital in excess of par value-preferred stock(credit) = 3,500,000 - 3,125,000 = 375,000.
