Answer 1

A) Calculation of the total paid in capital for Hadley Corporation

Paid in capital is the payments received from investors in exchange for an entity's stock. This is one of the key components of the total equity of a business. Paid in capital can involve either common stock or preferred stock. Paid in capital includes both the par value of stock sold and the additional paid-in capital representing the price at which stock is sold above the par value. Thus, the formula for paid in capital is:

Paid in capital = Par value + Additional paid in capital

Preferred Stock (par $50; authorized 10,000 shares,	322700
Additional Paid-in Capital, Preferred	18962
Common Stock (no-par; authorized 20,000 shares, issued and outstanding 5,300 shares)	58784
Total Paid In Capital	400446

B) No. of share held under treasury Shares

$2269/$5=453.8 or 454 shares

C) Calculation of Common Stock would be reported

6,399 shares of the common stock at $2.6 per share = $16637.4

Common Stock would be reported $16637.4

D)Calculation of Average Issue Price of the common Stock

No. of common stock issued= Common Stock/ Face Value per Stock

=$12427/$3 = 4142.333

Total Paid in Capital =$12427+$20631= $33058

Average Issue Price= Total Paid in Capital/ No of Stock Issued

= $33058/4142.333 = 7.98 per Common Stock
