Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Value of cash received is :

10,000 shares x $75

=$750,000

And that's a debit as it is shown in the question because cash was received.

Now the credit side.

Value of preferred stock is $50

So we have:

$50 x 10,000 shares

=$500,000 preferred shares.

Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par ValuePreferred Stock is $25 ($75 -$50)

So the value will be $25 x $10,000

=$250,000
