The total Paid-in capital at the end of 2018 is $384,600

Explanation:

The computation of total paid in capital is shown below:

Par value of First issue common stock = 24,000 * $5.20 = $124,800

Par value of Second issue common stock = 30,000 * $5 = $150,000

Add: Excess of paid in capital

First issue of common stock = 24,000 * ($5.20 - $5) = $4,800

Second issue of common stock = 30,000 * ($8.50 - $5) = $105,000

So, the total paid in capital = $124,800 + $150,000 + $4,800 + $105,000

= $384,600

Thus, The total Paid-in capital at the end of 2018 is $384,600
