Question

Coy, Inc. initially issued 200,000 shares of $1 par stock for $1,000,000 in 2016. In 2017, the company repurchased 20,000 shares for $400,000. In 2018, 10,000 of the repurchased shares were resold for $160,000. In its balance sheet dated December 31, 2018, Coy, Inc.'s treasury stock account shows a balance of:

Answer 1

Answer: $240,000

Explanation:

400,000÷20,000 = $20 per share (repurchase price)

160,000 ÷ 10,000 = $16 per share (sales price)

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

The treasury stock account is created upon the repurchase of a company's own stock. The treasury stock account is debited for cost of repurchase and then credited.back when the stocks are resold. However, after repurchasing 20,000 stock for 400,000 and selling hlaf the repurchased stock (10,000) for $160,000, then the repurchase price is greater than the sales price. There will be no paid in capital, with the entire amount credited to treasury stock.
