Triston Dawson · Answer 1

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Journal entry at time of selling treasury stock:

Cash A/c Dr. $56,250

To Treasury stock $52,500

To Paid in capital in excess of par $3,750

Workings:

cash = 2,500 * 22.5

= $56,250

Treasury stock = 2,500 * $21

= $52,500

Paid in capital in excess of par = 2,500 * $1.5

= $3,750

Therefore, this will conclude that

Treasury stock will decrease by $52,500.
