    (a) 4,000,000

    (b) 3,200,000

    (c) 3,170,000

    (d) $3,200,000

    (e) $750,000

    Explanation:

    (a) Number of shares authorized = 4,000,000

    (b) Number of shares issued = 3,200,000

    (c) Number of shares outstanding:

    = Number of shares issued - Acquired shares as treasury stock

    = 3,200,000 - 30,000

    = 3,170,000

    (d) Balance of the Common Stock account:

    = Number of shares issued * Par value

    = 3,200,000 * $1

    = $3,200,000

    (e) Balance of the Treasury Stock account:

    = Acquired shares as treasury stock * Price per share

    = 30,000 * $25

    = $750,000
