Answer:

Decline in Agee's total paid up capital is $14,000,000

Explanation:

Computation of decline in Paid-Up capital

Particulars                                        Amount

Cash paid for first repurchase      $10,000,000

(1 million shares*$10)

Value of first purchase                   $12,000,000

(1 million * $12                                                        

Benefit on first repurchase            $2,000,000

Cash paid for second repurchase = $16,000,000

(1 million shares * $16)

Value of second repurchase            $12,000,000

(1 million * $12)
