The average issue price per share of preferred stock must have been: _________


Sagot :

Answer:

$70.00

Explanation:

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = (Preferred stock capital + Contributed capital in excess of par value, Preferred Stock) / Number of shares issues & outstanding

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = ($100,000 + $250,000) / 5,000 shares

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $350,000 / 5,000 shares

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $70.00
