Answer:
a. $1,965,000
Explanation:
The computation of total stockholders' equity is shown below:-
Paid-in capital from Treasury Stock = 1,800 × ($30 - $28)
= 1,800 × $2
= $3,600
Retained earning = $500,000 + $450,000
= $950,000
Treasury stock = ((3,000 - 1,800) × $28) + (3000 × 35)
= (1,200 × $28) + (3000 × 35)
= $33,600 + $105,000
= $138,600
Total stockholders' equity on December 31, 2007 = Common stock + Paid-in capital in excess of par value + Paid-in capital from Treasury Stock + Retained earnings - Treasury stock
= $900,000 + 250,000 + $3,600 + $950,000 - $138,600
= $2,103,600 - $138,600
= $1,965,000
So, we have applied the above formula.
