Response:
The total value of Treasury stock at the end amounts to $85,000
Clarification:
Data Provided:
The amount of treasury stock purchased = 15,000 at $17 each
and the number of treasury stock sold = 10,000
Calculations:
Total cost of purchased treasury stock = 15,000 × $17
which equals $255,000
The proceeds from selling the treasury stock = 10,000 × Purchase price
which is 10,000 × $17
leading to $170,000
To compute the final dollar amount of Treasury stock:
Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = Total purchased - Total sold
which simplifies to $255,000 - $170,000
thus resulting in a final amount of $85,000
