Answer #1

Suppose the company have purchased 100 treasury stock @ $ 50 each. Subsequently we have sold those 100 treasury stock

@ 45 each. In that case the following entries will be recorded for purchase & sale of treasury Stock respectively.

S.No. Account Titles Debit $ Credit $
1 Treasury Stock        5,000
Cash        5,000
( 100 @ 50 )
2 Cash ( 100 @ 45 )        4,500
Additional paid in capital-Treasury Stock           500
Treasury Stock        5,000
This additional paid in capital-treasury stock will be shown as reduction from Stockholder's equity in the statement of Stockholder's Equity.
