a.
To indicate: The effects of each transaction on the accounting equation.

Accounting equation:
Accounting equation is an accounting tool expressed in the form of equation, by creating a relationship between the resources or assets of a company, and claims on the resources by the creditors and the owners. Accounting equation is expressed as shown below:
The effects of each transaction:
- a. Issued 100,000 shares of the common stock at $55 per share.
Calculate the cash:
Calculate the amount for common stock:
Calculate the amount for additional paid in capital:
Assets | Liabilities | Stockholders’ equity | |||
a. | Cash | +5,500,000(1) | No effect | Common stock Additional paid-in capital common |
+500,000(2) +5,000,000(3) |
Table (1)
- b. Required 25,000 shares at $50 cash per share.
Assets | Liabilities | Stockholders’ equity | |||
b. | Cash | -1,250,000 | No effect |
Treasury stock (+xSE) |
-1,250,000 |
Table (2)
- c. Reissued 10,000 shares from treasury for $51 per share.
Calculate the cash:
Calculate the treasury stock:
Calculate the additional paid in capital:
Assets | Liabilities | Stockholders’ equity | |||
c. | Cash | +510,000(4) | No effect | Treasury stock (-xSE) Additional paid-in capital treasury |
+500,000(5) +10,000(6) |
Table (3)
- d. Reissued 10,000 shares from treasury for $49 per share.
Calculate the cash:
Calculate the treasury stock:
Calculate the additional paid in capital:
Assets | Liabilities | Stockholders’ equity | |||
d. | Cash | +490,000(7) | No effect | Treasury stock (-xSE) Additional paid-in capital treasury |
+500,000(8) -10,000 (9) |
Table (3)
a.
- Common stock is issued for cash. Hence, the effect on the accounting equation is increase in cash (asset) and increase in stockholders’ equity (Common stock).
b.
- Reacquired shares from the stockholders that are kept in the treasury. Hence, the effect on the accounting equation is decrease in cash (asset) and decrease in the treasury stock (Stockholders’ equity).
c.
- Reissued the stocks from treasury for premium. Hence, the effect on the accounting equation is increase in cash (asset) and decrease in treasury stock which is a contra-equity which increases the stockholders’ equity. And there is anincrease in the additional paid in capital-treasury increases the stockholders’ equity.
d.
- Reissued the stocks from treasury for discount. Hence, the effect on the accounting equation is increase in cash (asset) and as the shares are issued at lesser than the cost price it decreases the stock holders’ equity and there is a decrease in the contra equity increases the stockholders’ equity.
b.
To prepare: The journal entry for each transaction.
Explanation of Solution

Prepare the journal entries:
- a. Journal entry for issuance of common stock:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) | |
a. | Cash
|
5,500,000 | ||
Common stock
|
500,000 | |||
Additional paid in capital, common stock
|
5,000,000 |
|||
(To record the issuance of common stock to investors at premium) |
Table (4)
- Cash is an asset. There is an increase in the cash. Hence, debit cash account with $5,500,000.
- Common stock is a component of stockholders’ equity. There is an increase in the common stock which increases the stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit stockholders’ equity with $500,000.
- Additional paid in capital (common stock), there is an issue of stocks at premium of $5. There is an increase in the common stock which increases the stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit additional paid in capital with $5,000,000.
- b. Journal entry for reacquiring of shares from stockholders:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) | |
b. | Treasury stock
|
1,250,000 | ||
Cash | 1,250,000 | |||
(To record the reacquiring of shares from the stockholders) |
Table (5)
- Treasury stock is the contra-equity. There is an increase in the contra-equity which decreases the stockholders’ equity. Hence, debit the treasury stock with $1,250,000.
- Cash is an asset. There is a decrease in the asset. Hence, credit cash account with $1,250,000.
- c. Journal entry for reissuance of treasury stock:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) | |
c. | Cash
|
510,000 | ||

Table (6)
- Cash is an asset. There is an increase in the asset. Hence, credit cash account with $510,000.
- Treasury stock is a contra-equity. There is a decrease in the contra equity which increases stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit treasury stock with $500,000.
- Additional paid in capital (Common stock) there is an issuance of stock at higher than the purchased price. Hence, credit additional paid in capital with $10,000.
- d. Journal entry for reissuance of treasury stock:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) | |
d. | Cash
|
510,000 | ||

Table (7)
- Cash is an asset. There is an increase in the asset. Hence, credit cash account with $510,000.
- Treasury stock is a contra-equity. There is a decrease in the contra equity which increases stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit treasury stock with $500,000.
- Additional paid in capital (Common stock) there is an issuance of stock at lower price than the purchased price. Hence, credit additional paid in capital with $10,000.
