Table (2)

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.

Issue of preferred stock:

  • Cash (asset account) is increased. Thus, it is debited.
  • Preferred 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.

Calculate additional paid in capital:

Additional paid in capital=(Common stock issued)+(Preferred stock issued)+(Treasury stock issued)=$3,400,000+$3,000+$27,500=$3,430,500 (2)

Calculate treasury stock:

Treasury stock=(Purchase of treasury stock)(Sale of treasury stock)=$440,000$220,000=$220,000 (3)
