1. (d) The number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the stock's par value per share
Option a is incorrect because we dont take shares issued into account.
Option b is incorrect because current market value is not used.
2. Shareholder's Equity 2024 = SE 2023 + Resold 2024 treasury stock + 2024 net income - 2024 cash dividends
SE 2023 = 4,600,000 + 3,010,000 + 22,000 - 900,000 = 6,732,000
Shareholder's Equity 2024 = 6,732,000 + 240,000 + 825,000 - 1,000,000 = $6,797,000 (c)
3. When company repurchased, Treasury stock would have been debited with $200,000.
Cost of each share = 200,000/10,000 = $20 per share
At the time of sale of these repurchased shares, treasury account would be credited with cost i.e. 5,000 * $20 = $100,000.
Treasury stock account balance = 200,000 - 100,000 = $100,000 (b)
