An analysis of the company€™s accounts disclosedthe following activities through April 30, 2015:
a. Carlton Company started business on April 1, 2010, with authorized stock of $100 par. Of the 1,000 authorized shares, 750 were paid for in full at par, and 250 were subscribed at par, with a required 20% down payment and the balance payable upon call. All the subscriptions receivable are due from W. Krueger, president of the company, and are fully collectible.
b. Marketable securities include the $25,000 cost of U.S. Treasury bonds valued at $23,200 and 25 shares of Groves Company common stock, costing $3,750, with a fair value of $3,300.
c. The land originally cost $10,000, and the building was erected at a cost of $102,500. Of the accumulated depreciation, $30,000 is applicable to the building. The realizable value of the real estate is $75,000.
