Answer 1

Answer:

1. Required tabulation is the Shares Authorized, the Shares Issued and the Shares Outstanding

Shares Authorized = 290,000 shares

Shares Issued

= Total Cash Collected / Price per share

= 2,170,000 / 14

= 155,000 shares

Shares Outstanding

= Shares Issued - Treasury stock

= 155,000 - 5,000

= 150,000 shares

2. Additional paid in capital account

= Gain (loss) above par

Par value is $10 and Stock was sold for $14

= (14 - 10 ) * 155,000

= $620,000

3. Earnings per share

= Net Income/ Shares outstanding

= 297,000/150,000

= $1.98
