Accounting

12) Worldwide Company obtained a charter from the state in January that authorized 200,000 shares of common stock, $10 par value. During the first year, the company earned $37,700 and declared no dividends; the following selected transactions occurred in the order given:

Issued 55,000 shares of the common stock at $12 cash per share.

Repurchased 1,500 shares at $15 cash per share from stockholders; the shares are now held in treasury.

Reissued 750 of the shares in transaction (b) two months later at $18 cash per share.

Prepare the stockholders equity section of the balance sheet at December 31. TIP: Because this is the first year of operations, Retained Earnings has a zero balance at the beginning of the year. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated by a minus sign.)
