Answer:

b. Kaplan's total stockholders' equity decreased $57,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The purchase of treasury stock is as follows:

Treasury Stock debit 57,500 (-Equity)

cash credit 57,500 (-Assets)

The company's equity decreased as well as the Assets.

The common stock and paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value will not be modified.

This account will be decreased if the stocks are retired not at purchase
