Sold 1,250 treasury shares on November 1 for $41 cash per share. Sold all remaining treasury shares on November 25 for $30 cash per share. 2. Prepare the stockholders' equity section after the October 11 treasury stock purchase.

Answer 1

Revised Equity Section of Balance Sheet After October 11

Common Stock at par $820,000

Paid-in capital in excess of Par $266,000

Total Contributed Capital $1,086,000

Retained earnings $ 944,000

Total $2,030,000

Less: Treasury Stock ($ 210,000)

Total Stockholder's Equity $1,820,000

Treasury stock = 6,000 * 35

= $210,000
