a. $1,100

b. $3,000

c. $3,750

d. 250 shares

e. 75 shares

f. Cannot be found because the expected rate of return is not given

Explanation:

a. Amount of cash collected when preferred stock was issued

Stated Value = $500

Paid in Capital in excess of Stated Value = $600

Cash Collected = $(500 + 600) = $1,100

b. Amount of company's legal capital based on class B common stock alone

Issued shares = 150

Par value = $20

Company's legal capital amount = 150 * 20 = $3,000

c. Minimum amount of assets that must be retained in the company as protection for creditors based on the class B common stock alone

Stated value of common stock  = $3,000

Paid in capital in excess of par value = $750

Minimum retain amount = $(3000 + 750) = $3,750

d. Number of shares of class B common stock that are available to sell as of December 31, 2018

Authorized shares = 400

Issued and outstanding = 150

Shares available to sell = 400 - 150 = 250 shares

e. Amount of the no-par common stock that would be outstanding immediately after the purchase of treasury stock as assumed

Shares before purchase = 100

Shares purchased = 25

Outstanding no-par common stock  = 100 - 25 = 75 shares

f. Market value of preferred stock

The expected rate of return is required to calculate the market value of preferred stock, but since this is not given in the question, the market value of preferred stock cannot be calculated.

Assuming the required rate of return is 12%

And the dividend rate of preferred stock is 7%

Stated Value or par value = $10

Dividend amount = $10 * 7% = $0.7

Hence the market value of preferred stock  = Dividend / Required Rate of Return

= $0.7/0.12 = $5.83
