Answer 1

Answer:

A. $909,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute Tudor Corporation’s paid in capital as of December 31, 2017, we must get first the Total Shareholders’ Equity ($991,900) minus Retained earnings as of December 31, 2017 ($82,900) plus treasury shares or any shares reacquired by the company if there is, equals $909,000

or

($991,900 - $82,900 + 0 = $909,000)
