(b) 3,200,000 shares
(c) 3,170,000 shares
(d) $3,200,000
(e) $750,000
Explanation:
(A) Number of shares that was authorized is 4,000,000
(B) Number of shares that was issued is 3,200,000
(C) The number of shares outstanding can be calculated as follows
= number of shares issued-acquired shares in the treasury stock
= 3,200,000-30,000
= 3,170,000
(D) The balance of common stock account can be calculated as follows
= number of shares that was issued-per value
= 3,200,000×$1
= $3,200,000
(E) The balance of the treasury stock account can be calculated as follows
= acquired shares in the treasury stock×price per share
= 30,000×$25
= $750,000
