    Explanation:

    A. The journal entry is shown below:

    For February 12:

    Cash A/c Dr (1,000,000 shares * $1.20) = $1,200,000

    To Common stock (1,000,000 shares * $0.25) = $250,000

    To Paid in capital in excess of par $950,000

    (Being common stock is issued for cash)

    For August 3:

    Cash A/c Dr (10,000 shares * $21) = $210,000

    To Preference stock (10,000 shares * $15) = $150,000

    To Paid in capital in excess of par $60,000

    (Being preference stock is issued for cash)

    B. The computation of the total amount invested is shown below:

    Common stock = $250,000

    Add: Preferred stock = $150,000

    Add: Additional paid up capital of common stock = $950,000

    Add: Additional paid up capital of Preference stock = $60,000

    So, the invested amount is $1,410,000
