Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1 Total in Common Stock account is

= 20000 shares × $ 7 par

= $140,000

2 Ending balance in retained Earnings is

= Net income - dividends

= $100,000 - $50,000

= $50,000

3 Additional Paid in Capitalis

= (20000 shares ×  $1) + (300 preferred shares × $10)

= $23,000

4 Total Preferred Stock account is

= 300 shares × $ 5

= $1,500

5 Total Stockholder's Equity is

= $140,000 + $50,000 + $23,000 + $1,500

= $214,500
