c. under both the capital stock and additional paid-in capital sections

Explanation:

In the given question, the corporation issued 40,000 shares for $50 par value and for cash $60 per share

So, it affects the two accounts, one is preferred stock and the second is additional paid-in capital.

The preference stock should be increased by $2,000,000 (40,000 shares * $50)

Whereas the difference of $400,000 (40,000 shares * $10) would be transferred to additional paid in the capital account

And, the preferred stock has come under a capital stock account that's why we considered both the things
