At the end of​ 2019, what is the total amount of paidminusin ​capital?

Answer 1

The total amount of paid-in ​capital is $552,000

Step-by-step explanation:

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

= Issue of common stock + issue of preferred stock

where,

Issue of common stock = Number of shares × issued price

= 20,000 shares × $18 per share

= $360,000

Issue of preferred stock = Number of shares × par value

= 1,200 shares × $160 per share

= $192,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $360,000 + $192,000

= $552,000
