Solution 1:
Purchase cost of treasury stock = 200000*$25 = $5,000,000
To reflect purchase of treasury stock in balance sheet, "Increase Treasury Stock by $5,000,000 and decrease Cash by $5,000,000."
Hence option D is correct.
Solution 2:
To reflect sale of treasury stock in balance sheet, "Increase Cash by $5,600,000, decrease Treasury Stock for $5,000,000 and increase Additional Paid-in Capital- Treasury Stock for $600,000."
Hence option C is correct.
Solution 3:
Dividend to preferred shareholders = Current year dividend + Dividend in arrears
= (50000*$20*8%) + (50000*$20*8%*2) = $240,000
Dividend to common shareholders = $450,000 - $240,000 = $210,000
Hence option e is correct.
