Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Common stock is reported at par value, which is $5 per share, and the company has 65,000 outstanding shares, so common stock is reported at $325,000 ($5 per share x 65,000 shares) on the balance sheet. Additional paid-in capital is calculated as the difference between the total amount paid for the issued shares ($9 per share x 70,000 shares = $630,000) and the par value of the shares issued ( $5 per share x 70,000 shares = $350,000), which equals $280,000. Therefore, the total equity reported on the balance sheet would be $605,000 ($325,000 in common stock + $280,000 in additional paid-in capital). Treasury stock is not mentioned in the information provided, so there is no basis for including it in the answer.
