    Average issued Price excluding Treasury Shares

    $13.01

    Explanation:

    Shares are issued on different prices their accumulated value is recorded in the common stock and add-in-capital account. Their average price can be calculated by dividing the total value of issuance and total issued shares.

    We can calculate the Average price by following two method.

    Average issued Price including Treasury Shares

    Common stock = 33,600 shares x $10 = $336,000

    Add-in-capital account excess of par = $168,000

    Total issuance value = $336,000 + $168,000 = $504,000

    average Issuance value = $504,000 / 33,600 = $15 per share

    Average issued Price excluding Treasury Shares

    Common stock = 33,600 shares x $10 = $336,000

    Add-in-capital account excess of par = $168,000

    Total issuance value = $316,000 + $168,000 - $72,800 = $411,200

    average Issuance value = $411,200 / (33,600 - 2000) = $13.01 per share
