What is your question? This problems deals with journalizing transactions of Preferred and Common Stock.

For example: transaction on Jan 10;
Debit Cash for total amount of Cash received
Credit Common Stock for the naumber of shares isued * stated value of the stock
Credit Additional Paid-in Capital for the difference between your two amounts (also number of shares issued * the difference between the selling price and the stated price of the stock).
