Explanation / Answer

Jan 5 20,000 shares Apr 5 18,500 shares (20,000 - 1,500 shares of treasury stock) July 5 18,500 shares Oct 5 22,200 [18,500 + 3,700 (18,500 x 20%)] (2) Jan 5 $10,000 (20,000 x .50) Apr 5 $9,250 (18,500 x .50) July 5 $9,250 Oct 5 $11,100 (22,200 x .50) (3) $44,400 (3,700 shares x $12 per share) (4) $10 per share ($15,000 / 1,500 shares) (5)* Retained earnings Dec 31 $200,000 Add back dividends $84,000 [$10,000 + 9,250 + 9,250 + 11,100 + 44,400] Minus Retained earnings Jan 1 ($160,000) Equals net income $84,400 *(5) would be easier to understand using a T-account, but I can't draw one on here
