Explanation:
This can be prepared as follows:
Witt Corporation
Stockholders' Equity Section of the Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2011
<u>Details Amount ($) </u>
Common stock (w.1) 344,000
Preferred stock (w.2) 65,000
Additional paid in capital - Common stock (w.3) 181,000
Additional paid in capital - Preferred stock (w.4) 49,000
Net income <u> 96,000 </u>
Stockholders' Equity <u> 735,000 </u>
Workings:
w.1. Common stock = (Number of common shares issued in transaction a + Number of common shares issued in transaction c) * Par value of common stock = (40,000 + 3,000) * $8 = $344,000
w.2. Preferred stock = (Number of preferred shares issued in transaction b + Number of preferred shares sold in transaction c) * Par value of preferred stock = (5,500 + 1,000) * $10 = $65,000
w.3. Additional paid in capital - Common stock = (Number of common shares issued in transaction a * (Selling price per share of the transaction - Par value of common stock)) + (Number of common shares issued in transaction c * (Selling price per share of the transaction - Par value of common stock)) = (40,000 * ($12 - $8)) + (3,000 * ($15 - $8)) = $181,000
w.4. Additional paid in capital - Preferred stock = (Number of preferred shares issued in transaction b * (Selling price per share of the transaction - Par value of preferred stock)) + (Number of preferred shares issued in transaction c * (Selling price per share of the transaction - Par value of preferred stock)) = (5,500 * ($16 - $10)) + (1,000 * ($26 - $10)) = $49,000
