Explanation / Answer
Dear Student, only one question is allowed at a time.
1)
Legal capital is that amount of a company's equity that cannot legally be allowed to be distributed through a dividend or any other means. It is the par value of common stock and the stated value of the preferred stock that a business has sold or otherwise issued to investors.
The number of shares is 74,000 and the legal capital is $740,000. So, option D is the correct option.
