Answer 1

$230,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of treasury stock account balance is shown below:-

Treasury stock account balance on December 31, 2021 balance sheet = Number of shares in treasury stock × Cost per share

= (46,000 - 23,000) × ($460,000 ÷ 46,000)

= 23,000 × $10

= $230,000

Therefore for computing the treasury stock account balance we simply applied the above formula.
