Curtis Benson · Answer 1

The journal entry is as follows

Cash or Bank Dr $56,100

To Preferred stock $46,000 (460 shares * $100)

To Paid in capital in excess of par value - common stock $10,100

(Being the issuance of the preferred stock is recorded)

By recording this given transaction, we debited the cash or bank account and credited the preferred stock and paid in capital in excess of par value so that the correct posting could be done
