Step by step solution

Meaning of Common Stock

Common stock is the stock that represents equity ownership. The common stock gets dividends from the company profit, but it has a lower priority in liquidation than the preferred share.

Calculation of Fair Value (a)

The Fair value of common (500*165)	$82,500
The Fair Value of Preferred (100*230)	23,000
	$105,500

Allocated to Common Share	$78,199
Allocated to PreferredShare	21,801
Total allocation(rounded to the nearest dollar)	$100,000

$\begin{array}{rcl} Allocated to common stock & = & \frac{$ 82, 500}{$ 105, 000} 脳 $ 100, 000 \\ = & $ 78, 199 \\ Allocated to preffered stock & = & \frac{$ 23, 000}{$ 105, 000} 脳 $ 100, 000 \\ = & $ 21, 801 \end{array}$
