Computations –

Purchase price of each share = $11.90

Sale price= $13.95

Paid-in capital = $2.05

Paid-in capital on sale of 19,000 shares = 19,000 x $2.05 = $38,950

Purchase price = $11.90

Excess of purchase price over sale price = 11.90 -7.95 = $3.95; $3.95 x 24,000 = $94,800

Partly from paid-in capital, Treasury stock = $38,950
