Answer 1

treasury stock 382,000 debit

cash 382,000 credit

cash 342,500 debit

treasury stock 274,000 credit

additional paid-in TS 68,500 credit

cash 84,000 debit

treasury stock 80,000 credit

additional paid-in TS 4,000 credit

additional paid-in TS 72,500

Treasury Stock 28,000

The Treasury Stock will be reported as a decrease to the equity.

Step-by-step explanation:

19,100 shares x $20 per share = 382,000

13,700 shares x $20 per share = 274,000

13,700 shares x $25 per share = 342,500

additional paid-in = 68,500

4,000 shares x $21 per share = 84,000

4,000 shares x $20 per share = (80,000)

additional paid-in 4,000

68,500 + 4,000 = 72,500 additional paid-in TS

TS 382,000 - 274,000 - 80,000 = 28,000
