Explanation / Answer

Answer a

Number of shares of common stock outstanding = Common shares issued - Common shares in Treasury stock

= 560,000 - 7,000 = 553,000 shares

Answer b

Stated value per share = Total common stock value /  Common shares issued = $1,120,000 / 560,000 = $2 per share

Answer c

Par value of preferred stock = Total preferred stock value /  Preferred shares issued = $420,000 / 8,400 = $50 per share

Answer d

Dividend rate on preferred stock = (Dividend amount / Total preferred stock value) * 100

= ($50,400 / $420,000) * 100 = 12 %

Answer e

Balance in Retained Earnings = $1,858,000

Explanation : Since arrears on preferred stock are not declared thus does not form the part of balance sheet. It is disclosed in the notes to accounts . Therefore as it does not impact in balance sheet , thus retaind earning balance remains same at $1,858,000
