Prepare the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet at December 31

Answer :

Answer:

Total stockholders' equity = $509,300

Explanation:

Before the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet is prepared, the following are calculated first:

Common stock = Number of common shares issued * Par value of common share = 21,000 * $6 = $126,000

Additional-paid-in-capital (APIC) – Common stock = Number of common shares issued * (Common stock cash per share - Par value of common share) = 21,000 * ($19 - $6) = $273,000

Preferred stock = Number of preferred stock issued * Par value of preferred stock = 3,100 * $10 = 31,000

APIC – Preferred stock = Number of preferred stock issued * (Preferred stock cash per share - Par value of preferred stock) = 3,100 * ($23 - $10) = $40,000

Therefore, the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet at December 31 can now be prepared as follows:
