Some parts of the question are missing:
Assuming the treasury shares were all purchased at the same price, the cost per share of the treasury stock is:______.
Answer:
$15.60
Explanation:
we must first determine the number of treasury stocks:
treasury stocks = shares issued - shares outstanding = 5,000 - 3,000 = 2,000
cost per share in treasury stock = total treasury stock / number of shares in treasury stock = $31,200 / 2,000 stocks = $15.60
Treasury stocks are stocks that have been repurchased by the corporation, and its account balance decreases stockholders' equity (contra equity account).
