Answer 1

Answer:

The balance in the Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock account on December 31, 2021, is $31,080

Solution-

The computation of the balance in the treasury stock account is shown below:

= Number of shares sold × (Selling price of share - purchase price of shares)

= 15,540 shares × ($11 per share - $9 per share)

=15,540 shares × $2 per share

= $31,080

Note- The other items which are mentioned like issued shares, authorized shares are irrelevant because we have to compute for the treasury stock, not for the common stock. So, these parts would be ignored in the computation part.

Thanks & all the best....
