Answer:

Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = $85,000

Explanation:

Given:

Number of purchase treasury stock = 15,000 at $17

Number of sold treasury stock = 10,000

Computation:

Amount of purchase treasury stock = 15,000 × $17

Amount of purchase treasury stock = $255,000

Amount of sold treasury stock = 10,000 × Purchase price

Amount of sold treasury stock = 10,000 × $17

Amount of sold treasury stock = $170,000

Computation of dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end:

Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = Amount of purchase treasury stock - Amount of sold treasury stock

Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = $255,000 - $170,000

Dollar amount of Treasury stock at the end = $85,000
