Explanation of Solution
K’s Corporation
Statement of Retained Earnings
For the year ended December 31, 2016
Retained earnings, December 31, 2015 | 270,000 |
Add: Net Income | 388,000

658,000 | |
Less: Cash dividends declared (72,000 + 80,000) | (152,000) |
Less: Loss on sale of treasury stock | (1,500)
|
Retained earnings, December 31, 2016 | 504,500 |
Working notes:
Purchase price of stock= 4000 × 20 = $80,000
Sale price of stock= (1,500 × 24) + (2,500 × 24)
= 36,000 + 42,500
= $78,500
Loss on issue of treasury stock= $80,000 - $78,500 = $1,500
