Respuesta :

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of cash that the company received from selling common stock during the year 2 we can use the following formula:

cash received = (common stock year 2 - common stock year 1) + (paid in capital in excess of par year 2 - paid in capital in excess of par year 1) =  

cash received = ($110,000 - $100,000) + ($90,000 - $50,000) = $10,000 + $40,000 = $50,000
