f. Is it possible to determine the fair market value per share of common stock from the stockholders' equity section above?
Answer a. No. of preferred stock have been issued = 130000 shares
calculated a No. of preferred stock = $13000000/100 = 130000

Calculated as preferred dividend = $13000000*7% = $910000
Answer c. Average issue price per common share = $14.76 per share
issue price for common stock = ($21000000+$41000000)/4200000 = $14.79 per share
Answer d. Legal Capital = 34000000 and paid in capital = 75000000
Calculated as
Legal capital = par value of common shares + stated value of preferred shares = $21000000+13000000 = 34000000
Paid in capital = $21000000+13000000+41000000 = $75000000
Answer e Book value per common share = $30.11 per share
Calculated as
Book value per share = Total Shareholder equity - Preferred share value/No. of Common shares
= (139450000-13000000)/4200000 = $30.11 per share
