    a. $62,480,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the total paid in capital is shown below:

    = Issued shares + outstanding shares + Paid-in capital in excess of par value - preferred stock + Paid-in capital in excess of par value - common stock

    =$400,000 + $26,000,000 + $80,000 + $36,000,000

    = $62,480,000

    The retained earning, and the treasury stock should not be included inpaid-in capital. Hence, these items would be ignored.
