    The correct answer is a.

    Explanation:

    The total number of shares issued is 10,000.

    The price of each share is $3.

    The par value of the stock is $1.

    500 shares are bought back at a price of $6.

    These shares are reissued at a price of $10 per share.

    Under the cost accounting method, the balance amount is recorded as paid-in capital related to treasury stock. This is because of the reissuing price being higher than the cost.

    So, the amount to be recorded will be,

    =500 * (6-3)

    =1,500.
