Fortune Company
There is a balance of ($65) in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2.
However, this balance will be transferred to the Additional Paid-in Capital account at year-end, since there are no outstanding shares for the Treasury Stock account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
May 1 Repurchase of 130 shares (Treasury Stock) = $6,500
July 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $53 per share = (3,445)
August 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $48 per share = (3,120)
August 2, Balance in the Paid-in Capital = ($65)
b) The Treasury Stock account is a contra Paid-in Capital account which records transactions involving the repurchase and reissue of treasury shares. Treasury shares represent the company's own shares which are repurchased from its investors.
