Assets | Liabilities | Stockholders’ equity | |||
February 1 | Cash | -8,000(1) | No effect | Treasury stock (+xSE) |
-8,000 |

Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
February 1 | Treasury stock
|
8,000 | |
Cash | 8,000 | ||
(To record the purchase of treasury stock) |
Table (4)
- Treasury stock is a contra-equity. There is an increase in the contra- equity which decreases the stockholders’ equity. Hence, debit treasury stock with $8,000.
- Cash is an asset. There is a decrease in the asset account. Hence, credit cash with $8,000.
- b. Journal entry for issue of treasury stock:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
July 15 | Cash
|
3,000 | |
Treasury stock
|
2,000 | ||
Additional paid-in capital
|
1,000 | ||
(To record the issue of treasury stock |
Table (5)
- Cash is an asset. There is an increase in the asset. Hence, debit cash account with $3,000.
- Treasury stock is a contra-equity. There is a decrease in the contra-equity which increases the stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit stockholders’ equity with $2,000.
- Additional paid in capital (treasury stock) –there is an issuance of stock at a price higher than the purchased price. Hence, credit additional paid in capital with $1,000.
- c. Journal entry for issue of treasury stock:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
September 1 | Cash
|
900 | |
Additional paid in capital
|
300 | ||
Treasury stock
|
1,200 | ||
(To record the issue of treasury stock) |
Table (6)
- Cash is an asset. There is an increase in the asset. Hence, credit cash account with $900.
- Additional paid in capital (Common stock) –there is an issuance of stock at lower price than the purchased price. Hence, debit additional paid in capital with $300.
- Treasury stock is a contra-equity. There is a decrease in the contra equity which increases stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit treasury stock with $1,200.

Explanation of Solution
Treasury Stock:
It refers to the shares that are reacquired by the corporation that are already issued to the stockholders, but reacquisition does not signify retirement.
Cash dividend:
The amount of cash provided by a corporation out of its distributable profits to its shareholders as a return for the amount invested by them is referred as cash dividends.
When the treasury stock is purchased, the total amount of cash dividend will be reduced as the dividends are not paid out of the treasury stock.
4.
Explanation of Solution
Treasury Stock:
It refers to the shares that are reacquired by the corporation that are already issued to the stockholders, but reacquisition does not signify retirement.
If the treasury stock is issued for a higher amount than the purchase price, then the impact of this will be only on the balance sheet accounts as an additional paid in capital is received by issuing the stocks at higher price.
If the treasury stock is issued for higher the amount than the purchase price, there is no impact on the income statement as it affects only the stockholders’ equity.
