Answer:

Option C

Dr. Treasury Stock 67,200

Cr. Cash 67200

Explanation:

Before March 4, 2019

The reason is that when the stock was issued the entry was:

Dr Cash $67200

Cr Common Stock $67200 ... 2100 * $32 per share

On March 4, 2019

So if the 1600 out of 2100 are repurchased then the above entry would be reversed but here their is a small difference which is that the term common stock would not be used and instead we will use Treasury Stock because this is the term that is used when the common stock is decreased by repurchase of shares.

Dr Treasury Stock $67,200

Cr Cash                          $67,200

So the right answer is option D.
