Explanation:

February 1

Cash received against issuance of stock

Proceeds = 5,900 x $15 = $88,500

As there is no par value we need to record in add-in-capital excess of par.

May 15

Preferred

Proceeds = 700 x $12 = $8,400

Par value = 7 00 x $10 = $7,000

Add-in-capital excess of par = 700 x ($12-$10) = $1,400

October 15

Dividend = $1.2 x (5,900+700) = $7,920
