200,000 shares of $5 par value common stock and 6,000 shares of 8% cumulative
preferred stock. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. All the preferred stock was
issued at $107 per share, and 110,000 shares of the common stock were sold for $9 per
share. The operations of the company resulted in a net loss of $19,000 in 2013 and net
income of $125,000 in 2014. In 2015, net income was $352,000, and the cash position was
