Required:
a. What is the amount of additional paid-in capital?
b. What was the amount of retained earnings at the beginning of the year?
c. How many shares are in treasury stock?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Additional paid-in capital:

= Amount received from shares issued - Common stock

= (33 per share * 93,000) - 465,000

= $2,604,000

b. Beginning retained earnings:

Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividend

830,000 = Beginning retained earnings + 1,120,000 - 720,000

Beginning retained earnings = 830,000 - 1,120,000 + 720,000

= $430,000

c. Treasury stock:

= Shares issued - Shares outstanding

= 93,000 - 65,000

= 28,000 shares
