What would be the balance in the Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock account at December 31, 2021?
Answer - The balance in the Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock account at December 31, 2021 is $30,420
Explanation:
The computation of the balance in the treasury stock account is shown below:
= Number of shares sold * (Selling price of the share - purchase price of the share)
= 15210 shares × ($15 per share - $13 per share)
= 15210 shares × $2 per share
= $30,420
The other things which are mentioned like issued shares, authorized shares are irrelevant because we have to calculate for the treasury stock, not for the common stock.
