    Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198

    Explanation:

    Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.

    When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.

    The Balance here is,

    = $3 * 66 resold shares

    = $198

    This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.
