Answer:

c. increase of $300,000

Explanation:

The autorized shares do not increase the equity of the firm. The firm generaes equity when the shares are issued. Therefore, we should consider January 2nd issuance:

12,000 common shares x $25 =   300,000 total proceeds

face value: 12,000 common x $5 = 60,000 face value
