d) Other items that might appear in Stockholders' Equity and the balance sheet are Additional Paid-in Capital and Treasury Stock (contra account to the Common Stock).

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
