Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The balance in the Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock account at December 31, 2014 is $36,000

Explanation:

The computation of the balance in the treasury stock account is shown below:

= Number of shares sold × (Selling price of share - purchase price of share)

= 18,000 shares × ($13 per share - $11 per share)

= 18,000 shares × $2 per share

= $36,000

The other items which are mentioned like issued shares, authorized shares are irrelevant because we have to compute for the treasury stock, not for the common stock. So, these parts would be ignored in the computation part.
