Total stockholders’ equity                                           $1,493,600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2017:

Common stock, $1 par value, 120,000 shares issued  $120,000

Paid-in capital in excess of par—common stock             833,000

Retained earnings                                                            408,000

Total stockholders’ equity                                            $1,361,000

b) Retained Earnings:

Jan. 1, 2017 balance $408,000

Net Income               $130,000

April 30, 2017 bal.    $538,000

c) Since Clemenson accounts for the Treasury Stock transactions using the cost method, it means that all treasury transactions are recorded directly in the Treasury Stock account based on their cost and not the par value.  This method of using the cost is one of the two methods for accounting for treasury stock transactions.  The other method, which Clemenson can use is the par value method.  Under this second method, Clemenson will record the above and below par value differences in the Paid-in Capital in excess of par account instead of the Treasury Stock account.  While the treasury stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account, in Clemenson's case, the Treasury Stock balance is not a debit but a credit balance.
