    Answer: $240,000

    Explanation:

    400,000:20,000 = $20 per share (repurchase price)

    160,000 : 10,000 = $16 per share (sales price)

    $400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

    The treasury stock account is created upon the repurchase of a company's own stock. The treasury stock account is debited for cost of repurchase and then credited. back when the stocks are resold. However, after repurchasing 20,000 stock for 400,000 and selling hlaf the repurchased stock (10,000) for $160,000, then the repurchase price is greater than the sales price. There will be no paid in capital, with the entire amount credited to treasury stock.
