    treasury Stock-repurchased and resold
    I need help with this puzzle

    Company P's Equity account for the year 19xx are as follows

    Common Stock ($5-25,000 issued & Outstanding)... 125,000
    Premium on common Stock.. . 625,000
    Retained Earnings.. . 1,00,000

    Total $1,750,000

    During the year Company P Had following transactions
    1. Repurchased 5,000 shares @ $15.00 per share (5,000*15=$75,000)
    2. Resold 5,000 shares @ $20.00 per share (5,00*20= $100,000)

    After these treasury stock transactions, Company P' Adjusted total equity
    should be:

    My answer is 1,775,000


    Total Repurchased Resold =Adjusted Total Equity
    1,750,000 + 75,000 - 100,000 = $1,775,000

    ! 1750,000
    2. 1850,000
    3. 1925,000
    1-3 are possible answer too
