Answer 1

Proceed from Issue of Common Stock = Increase in Common Stock + Increase in Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par
Proceed from Issue of Common Stock = ($154,000 - $100,000) + ($416,600 - $279,400)
Proceed from Issue of Common Stock = $191,200

Dividend paid = Beginning Dividend payable + Dividend declared - Ending Dividend payable
Dividend paid = ($19,500 + $95,680 - $23,580)
Dividend paid = $91,600
