To determine how the transaction would affect the additional paid-in capital of the parent company, we need to calculate the additional paid-in capital before and after the transaction.

Before the transaction:
The additional paid-in capital was $105,000 as given in the information.

After the transaction:
Cocker issued 10,000 additional shares of common stock for $21 per share.

So, the additional paid-in capital after the transaction can be calculated as follows:

Additional Paid-in Capital after the transaction = Additional shares issued * Issue price per share.

Additional shares issued = 10,000 shares
Issue price per share = $21

Additional Paid-in Capital after the transaction = 10,000 * $21 = $210,000

Now, let's compare the additional paid-in capital before and after the transaction to determine the change:

Change in Additional Paid-in Capital = Additional Paid-in Capital after the transaction - Additional Paid-in Capital before the transaction

Change in Additional Paid-in Capital = $210,000 - $105,000

Change in Additional Paid-in Capital = $105,000

Therefore, the transaction would decrease the additional paid-in capital of the parent company by $105,000.

The answer would be D. Decrease it by $105,000.
