Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Cash A/c Dr $750,000 (10,000 shares × $75)

To Preferred Stock $500,000 (10,000 shares × $50)

To Additional Paid-in Capital in excess of par - Preferred stock $250,000

(Being the issuance of stock is recorded and the remaining balance is credited to the additional paid-in capital account)
