Explanation:

Further Working notes:

* May 15: Actual cash receipt = issued price per share x share issuance = 13 x 800 = $10,400; Amount recorded in Preferred stock account = par value per share x share issuance = 10 x 800 = $8,000; Amount recorded in Paid-in capital account = (Issue price - Par value) x No of shares issuance = (13-10) x 800 = $2,400.

* Oct 1: Actual dividend paid out = Dividend paid to preferred stockholders + Dividend paid to common stock holders = 0.45 x 800 + 0.45 x 4,400 = $360 + $1,980 =  $2,340.
