Answer:

(b) Land 547000

Preferred Stock 450000

Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par-Preferred 97000

Explanation:

Land $547,000

       To Paid in capital, in excess of par- preferred  $97,000

Here the land is debited as it increased the asset and credited the preferred stock & paid in capital as it increased the equity

Therefore the correct option is b.
