Answer:
The correct answers are:
C-debit paid-in capital treasury shares $200
D-Debit retained earnings $300
Explanation:
The purchase of treasury stock for $10 per share implies that the price paid per share is the par value of each share.
Upon issue of 100 shares at $12 the following entries are required:
Dr Cash (100*$12) $1,200
Cr Treasury stock(100*$10) $1,000
Cr Paid-in capital in excess of par $200
However upon issue of 500 share at $9 per share which is $1 less than the par value, hence there is $500 discount on the issue.
The discount is recorded as follows:
Dr paid-in capital $200
Dr Retained earnings $300
The $200 posted to paid-in capital is the same premium that posted in there earlier when 100 shares.
