Answer:

Option D is the correct option. Please choose option D that is $150,000.

Explanation:

Amount of paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions = Shares exchanged * (Market Price - Share purchase Cost)

Where Shares exchanged = 25000

Market price = $45

Cost of share = $39

Therefore, the amount of paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions = 25000 shares * (45 - 39) = $150,000

Option D $150,000 is correct
