    c. increase of $300,000

    Explanation:

    The autorized shares do not increase the equity of the firm. The firm generaes equity when the shares are issued. Therefore, we should consider January 2nd issuance:

    12,000 common shares x $25 = 300,000 total proceeds

    face value: 12,000 common x $5 = 60,000 face value

    additional paid-in 240, 000
