    D. Stockholders' Equity increases

    Explanation:

    Cost of the share being resale = 400 shares x $27 = $10,800

    Proceeds on the resale of shares = 400 shares x $30 = $12,000

    Profit / Gain on resale = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200

    As there is a profit of $1,200 the stockholders equity will be increased on the reselling of share.

    As the assets section is increased because more cash is received against the cost of those shares.
