    May 10

    Cash (debit) $6,400

    Common stock (credit) $6,400

    May 15

    Cash (debit) $295,000

    preferred stock (credit) $295,000

    Explanation:

    Common stock

    Companies Act requires the Common Shares to have par value.

    However shares can be elected as no-par common stock and presented at stated value.

    Preferred stock

    Must not necessarily have par value.

    Can be presented at issue price.
