The entry that is included to record the​ corporation's purchase of 30,000 shares of its common stock for $15 per​ share is:

B. Treasury Stock-Common is debited for $150,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Common​ Stock, $5 ​par, 219,000 shares​ authorized,

179,000 shares issued $895,000

Paid in Capital in Excess of Par—Common 206,000

Retained Earnings 232,000

Total​ Stockholders' Equity $1,333,000

Purchase of 30,000 shares for $15 per share

The journal entries to record this transaction are:

Debit Treasury stock $150,000 ($5 * 30,000)

Debit Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par - Common $300,000 ($10 * 30,000)

Credit Cash $450,000 ($15 * 30,000)
