Paid in capital: | ||
Common stock- $1 par | $6,425,000 | $7,000,000 |
Paid in capital- excess of par | $58,130,000 | 63,000,000 |

Calculation of Part (a):
Common stock= $7,000,000-440,000-440,000+305,000= $6,425,000
Paid in capital- excess of par= $63,000,000-$3,960,000-$3,960,000+$3,050,000= $58,130,000
Retained earnings= $95,500,000+18,000,000+20,000,000+22,000,000-880,000= $154,620,000
Calculation of Part (b)
Retained earnings= $95,500,000+18,000,000+20,000,000+22,000,000-305,000= $155,195,000
Treasury stock= $5,280,000+$4,180,000-$3660000= $5,800,000
