common stock 2,000,000 credit

additional paid-in 76,000,000 credit

Step-by-step explanation:

As we assume the shares are retired there is no treasury stock or additional paid-in treasury stock we directly decrease common stock and additional paid-in for the amount of the purchased shares.

when new shares are sold we take it as annormal isuance of shares.
