G Adventures
Balance sheet (Partial)
Stockholders’ Equity Section	Amount ($)	Amount ($)
Paid-in Capital:
Common stock, $1 par value, 120,000 shares issued		120,000

Retained earnings		175,000(4)
Treasury stock, 5,500 shares		(75,000) (3)
Total stockholders’ equity		1,325,000

Working note:

Compute paid in capital in excess of par for common stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Paid in capital in excess of par }=\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{No of shares }\times \\ \left(\text{Issued price }-\text{Par value}\right)\end{array}\right)\\ =100,000\times \left(\$12-\$1.00\right)\\ =\$1,100,000\end{array}$ (1)

Compute paid in capital in excess of par for treasury stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Paid in capital in excess of par }=\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{No of shares }\times \\ \left(\text{Issued price }-\text{Par value}\right)\end{array}\right)\\ =5,000\times \left(\$15.00-\$16.00\right)\\ =\$5,000\end{array}$ (2)

Compute the par value of 5,500 treasury stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{ Par value }=\text{No of shares }\times \text{ Par value}\\ =5,000\times \$15.00\\ =\$75,000\end{array}$ (3)

Compute the amount of retained earnings:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Retained earnings }=\left[\begin{array}{l}\left(\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Beginning balance}\\ \text{ of retained earnings}\end{array}\right)+\text{Net income}\right)\\ -\text{Dividends paid}\end{array}\right]\\ =\left[\left(\$140,000+\$150,000\right)-\$115,000\right]\\ =\$290,000-\$115,000\\ =\$175,000\end{array}$ (4)
