Answer 1

Answer:

Dr. Cash                                           $2,500

Cr. Treasury Shares                        $2,300

Cr. Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock $200

Explanation:

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

At the time of repurchase

Treasury Shares = 100 x $23 = $2,300

Dr. Treasury Stock $2,300

Cr. Cash                  $2,300

At the time of Resale

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

Proceeds = 100 x $25 = $93,600

Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock = $2,500 - $2,300 = $200
