Explanation of Solution

Common stock: Common stock is the cash raised by the company by issuing common or ordinary shares to the stockholders. This is an investment for the shareholders for which they receive the dividends from the issuing company, and have voting rights.

Paid-in capital in excess of par value: This is the total of stock capital contributed by investors in excess of par value, and so, sometimes referred to as paid-in capital in excess of par value. It includes preferred stock capital issued in excess of par value, common stock capital issued in excess of par value, and capital issued by the way of sale of treasury stock.

Treasury stock: The shares which were reacquired or bought back by the company, but not formally retired from the corporation stock, are called as treasury stock. The re-acquisition of issued shares decreases the number of outstanding shares.

Explanation for the above journal entries:

Issue of common stock:

  • Cash (asset account) is increased. Thus, it is debited.
  • Common stock (component of equity) is increased. Thus, it is credited.
  • Additional paid-in-capital (component of equity) is increased. Thus, it is credited.

Purchase of treasury stock:

  • Treasury stock is a contra equity account. It is increased. Thus, it is debited.
  • Cash (asset account) is decreased. Thus, it is credited.

Sale of treasury stock above cash:

  • Cash (asset account) is increased. Thus, it is debited.
  • Treasury stock is a contra equity account. It is decreased. Thus, it is credited.
  • Additional paid-in-capital (component of equity) is increased. Thus, it is credited.

Record the declaration of cash dividend:

  • Dividend (decreases the retained earnings) is a legal obligation. It is increased. Thus, it is debited.
  • Dividend payable (liability account) is increased. Thus, it is credited.

Record the payment of cash dividend:

  • Dividend payable (liability account) is decreased. Thus, it is debited.
  • Cash (asset account) is decreased. Thus, it is credited.

Record the payment for building:

  • Building (asset account) is increased. Thus, it is debited.
  • Cash (asset account) is decreased. Thus, it is credited.
