Calculation.

Cash received  = no of shares issued x issue per share

         =1100 x $15= $16,500

Common stock = Number of share issue x stated value per share = 1,110 x $2 =$2,220

Additional paid in capital=  Number of shares issue x ( issue per share - stated value per share )= 1,110 x ($15-$2)= 1,110 x $13 = $14,430

Cash = no of shares of preferred stock  x issue per share

         =  5000 x $59= $295,000

par value at preferred stock n  = Number of share preferred  issue x stated value per share n= 5000 x 15 =$75,000

Additional paid in capital=  Number of sharesof preferred stock  issue x ( issue per share - stated value per share )= 5,000 x ($59-$15)= 5,000 x $44 = $220,000
