Question

In 2020, Marigold Corp., issued for $102 per share, 86000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Marigold's $25 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $30 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock?

Answer 1

$2322,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of amount credited to additional paid-in capital is shown below:-

Amount credited to additional paid-in capital = Issued per share × Number of shares) - (Number if shares × Preferred stock shares converted into three shares × Par value of common stock

= ($102 × 86,000) - (86,000 × 3 × $25)

= $8,772,000 - $6,450,000

= $2322,000

So, for computing the amount credited to additional paid-in capital we simply applied the above formula.
