Answer:

$600 million

Explanation:

On January 1, 2020, the balance of common stock & APIC

Common stock & APIC = Paid-In Capital + Share Capital raised by issuing 50 million shares at $20 per share - Treasury Stock

Here

Paid-In Capital is $500 millions

Issue of 50 million shares at $20

Treasury Stock is 20 million shares at $45 per share

By putting the values, we have:

Common stock & APIC = $500 million + $1000 million - (20 million shares * $45 per share)

Common stock & APIC = $1500 millions - $900 million = $600 million
