    Dr Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par - Preferred Stock$400,000

    Cr Preferred Stock$10,000,000

    Explanation:

    Since Witt Oil issued 100,000 shares and preferred stock with a par value of $100 in which the shares sold for $96 per share this means we have to Debit Cash with $9,600,000, Debit Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par - Preferred Stock $400,000 and Credit Preferred Stock$10,000,000

    Dr Cash$9,600,000

    (100,000 Shares * $96 per shares)

    Dr Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par - Preferred Stock$400,000

    (10,000,000 - $9,600,000)

    Cr Preferred Stock$10,000,000
