Explanation:

1. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Common Stock, $20 Par Value = 5,000 shares × $20 per share = $100,000

Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock = $120,000 – $100,000 = $20,000

2.The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of stated value, common Stock account.

Common stock = $1 x 2,500 = $2,500

Paid-in capital in excess of stated value, common stock = $22,000 - $2,500 = $19,500

4. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Preferred Stock, $25 Par Value = 1,250 shares × $25 per share = $31,250

Paid in capital in excess of par value, preferred Stock = $53,250 – $31,250 = $22,000
