Dr. Treasury Shares $112,700

Cr. Cash $112,700

September 6, 2020

Dr. Cash $93,600

Cr. Treasury Shares $88,200

Cr. Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock $5,400

November 30,

Dr. Cash $23,000

Dr. Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock $1,500

Cr. Treasury Shares $24,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Treasury stock is the share of the company issued earlier and bought-back. It can be reissued and cancelled by the company.

May 14

Treasury Shares = 2,300 x $49 = $112,700

Sale

All the difference in the issuance of treasury stock will be transferred to Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock account.

September 6,

Proceeds = 1,800 x $52 = $93,600

Cost = 1,800 x $49 = $88,200

Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock = $93,600 - $88,200 = $5,400

November 30,

Proceeds = 500 x $46 = $23,000

Cost = 500 x $49 = $24,500

Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock = $24,500 - $23,000 = $1,500
