Question

Karl Corporation was organized on January 2, 2018. During 2018, Karl issued 40,000 shares at $24 per share, purchased 6,000 shares of treasury stock at $26 per share, and had net income of $600,000. What is the total amount of stockholders' equity at December 31, 2018?

Answer 1

The answer is $1,404,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount realized from the issuance: 40,000 shares x $24

= $960,000

Treasury stock repurchased:

6,000 shares x $26

=$156,000

Net income = $600,000

The total amount of stockholders' equity at December 31, 2018 is:

Net income + amount realized from issuance - amount of treasury stock

$600,000 + $960,000 - $156,000

$1,404,000
