Answer 1

Answer:

Additional paid-in capital is $904,200

Explanation:

Number of shares, issued and outstanding = 93,000 shares

Acquired 2,460 shares of its stock for $75,000.

Sold 2,000 treasury shares at $35 per share.

Sold the remaining 460 treasury shares at $20 per share.

i) Acquired 2,460 shares of its stock for $75,000.

= Treasury Stock Dr $75,000

ii) Sold 2,000 treasury shares at $35 per share.

Treasury Stock (2,000 × $35) = Dr $70,000

iii) Sold the remaining treasury shares at $20 per share.

Treasury Stock (460 × $20) = Dr $9,200

Total Treasury Stock = $75,000 - $70,000 - $9,200

= ($4,200)

Paid in Cap-tresury stock= 10,000-5000=5000

Additional Paid in capital = Paid in Capital - treasury stock

= 900,000 + 4,200 = $904,200
