    a. debit to Paid-In Capital From Treasury Stock of $155,000

    Explanation:

    Treasury Stock purchase 25,000 shares = $762,500

    Per share value = $762,500/25,000 shares

    Per share value = $30.5

    Selling price of 10,000 treasury stock = $15 * 10,000 = $150,000

    Purchase price of 10,000 treasury stock = $30.5 * 10,000 = $305,000

    The deference between sales and purchase of treasury stock = $155,000

    Therefore, option A is the answer because paid-In Capital From Treasury Stock becomes a debit due to selling the stock in low price.
