    Preferred stock, 10%, $100 par (10,000 shares
    authorized, 2,000 shares issued) $200,000
    Common stock, $5 par (100,000 shares authorized,
    20,000 shares issued) 100,000
    Additional paid-in capital 125,000
    Retained earnings 450,000
    Total $875,000

    During 2007, Cleves took part in the following transactions concerning stockholders’ equity.
    1. Paid the annual 2006 $10 per share dividend on preferred stock and a $2 per share dividend on
    common stock. These dividends had been declared on December 31, 2006.
    2. Purchased 1,700 shares of its own outstanding common stock for $40 per share. Cleves uses the
    cost method.
    3. Reissued 700 treasury shares for land valued at $30,000.
    4. Issued 500 shares of preferred stock at $105 per share.

    per share.
    6. Issued the stock dividend.
    7. Declared the annual 2007 $10 per share dividend on preferred stock and the $2 per share dividend
    on common stock. These dividends are payable in 2008.

    Instructions
    (a) Prepare journal entries to record the transactions described above.

    Debit dividends for $60,000 and credit Cash for $60,000

    Preferred stock dividends = $10 * 2,000 shares issued

    Common stock dividends = $2 * 20,000 shares issued

    First, we don't do people's homework for them.

    Second, #8 is incorrect. The treasury stock account has nothing to do with paying dividends.
