Answer:

Knutson have to debit $12,600 of retained earnings upon conversion

Explanation:

shares issued = 7,000 x $5 = $35,000

Conversion of preferred stock = 7,000 x $3 = $21,000

Retained earning = shares issued - Conversion of preferred stock - premium of preferred stock sold = $35,000 - $21,000 - $1,400 = $12,600
