Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Authorized share capital:
Common stock = 2,000,000 shares of no-par value
7.5% cumulative, preferred stock = 800,000 shares at $100 par value
Issued share capital:
Common stock, 750,000 at $35 = $26,250,000
Cash $26,250,000 Common stock $26,250,000
Preferred stock, 540,000 at $105 = $56,700,000
Cash $56,700,000 Preferred stock $54,000,000 Additional paid-in capital $2,700,000
Declared Dividends = $15,000,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividends for 3 years
= $12,150,000($4,050,000 * 3)
Common stock = $2,850,000 ($15,000,000 - $12,150,000)
