Answer 1

Answer:

A

B

B

Explanation:

The purchase of treasury stock from shareholders would cost the company $10,800($27*400)  which would be credited to cash account and debited to treasury stock,hence option A is correct.

The correct answer to the second question is that equity section of the balance sheet consists of common stock amount,plus paid in capital in excess  of par plus retained earnings minus treasury stock i.e$671,000($60,000+$222,000+$402,000-$13000)

Stock dividend=issued and outstanding shares*14%*$15

                        =200,000*14%=28000

The common stock would credited with $56,000(28,000*$2)

The correct option is common stock is credited with $56,000
