Paid in capital treasury stock = $1,600

Explanation:

Paid in capital treasury stock = (Market value - purchase value) * Number of share reissued.

Given,

Reacquired treasury stock = 2000 shares

As the shares were reacquired for $20,

Reacquired total treasury stock = 2,000 shares * $20 = $40,000

Reissued number of shares = 800

Market price of those treasury stock is $22 per share.

Therefore, paid in capital - treasury stock = $ (22 - 20) * 800 shares

Paid in capital - treasury stock = $1,600
