Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Explanation:- A) True, because 140,000 shares issued at $5 par value equals $700,000 (140,000 shares * $5 par value).- B) True, because the shares were issued at $11, which is $6 above par value ($11 - $5 = $6), and for 140,000 shares, this equals $840,000 (140,000 shares * $6).- C) False, because the decrease in stockholders' equity due to treasury stock purchase is not directly provided, and without the cost at which the treasury stock was purchased, we cannot confirm the $110,000 figure.- D) True, because if 140,000 shares were issued and 130,000 are outstanding, 10,000 shares must be treasury stock (140,000 issued - 130,000 outstanding = 10,000 treasury).
