Explanation of Solution

(1)

Journalize the shares required (reacquired as treasury stock) on February 12, 2016.

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
2016        
February 12 Treasury Stock   13,000,000
    Cash   13,000,000
(To record purchase of treasury stock)

Table (1)

  • Treasury Stock is stockholders’ equity account. The amount has decreased because common stock is purchased as treasury stock. Therefore, debit Treasury Stock account with $13,000,000.
  • Cash is an asset account and the amount is decreased because cash is paid to buy treasury stock. Therefore, credit Cash account with $13,000,000.

Working Note:

Compute the treasury stock amount.

Treasury stock = {Number of treasury stock purchased ×Purchase price per share}=1,000,000 shares × $13=$13,000,000

(2)

Journalize the shares required (reacquired as treasury stock) on June 9, 2017.

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
2017        
June 9 Treasury Stock   20,000,000
           Cash   20,000,000
(To record purchase of treasury stock)

Table (2)

  • Treasury Stock is stockholders’ equity account. The amount has decreased because common stock is purchased as treasury stock. Therefore, debit Treasury Stock account with $20,000,000.
  • Cash is an asset account and the amount is decreased because cash is paid to buy treasury stock. Therefore, credit Cash account with $20,000,000.

Working Note:

Compute the treasury stock amount.

Treasury stock ={Number of treasury stock purchased×Purchase price per share}=2,000,000 shares × $10=$20,000,000

(3)

Journalize the sale of treasury stock on May 25, 2018 (Use weighted average cost method to determine the cost of treasury stock).

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
2018        
May 25 Cash   30,000,000
         Treasury Stock   22,000,000
   

     Paid-in Capital–Share

     Repurchase

  8,000,000
(To record sale of treasury stock)

Table (3)

  • Cash is asset account. The amount is increased because cash is received on sale of treasury stock. Therefore, debit Cash account with $30,000,000.
  • Treasury Stock is a stockholders’ equity account and the equity amount has increased due to sale of treasury stock. Therefore, credit Treasury Stock account with $22,000,000.
  • Paid-in Capital–Share Repurchase is a stockholders’ equity account and the amount has increased because treasury stock is sold for more than the price purchased. Therefore, credit Paid-in Capital–Share Repurchase account with $8,000,000.

Working Notes:

Compute cash received.

Cash received} = {Number of treasury stock sold × Sale price per stock}= 2,000,000 shares × $15= $30,000,000 (1)

Compute treasury stock at weighted average cost.

Weighted average cost per treasury share} = Total treasury stock amountTotal number of treasury shares=$13,000,000+$20,000,0001,000,000 shares+2,000,000 shares=$33,000,0003,000,000 shares=$11 (2)

Note: Refer to transactions 1 and 2 for values and computations of treasury stock amount and number of treasury shares.

Compute treasury stockvalue.

Treasury stock = {Number of treasury stock sold ×Weighted average cost per share}=2,000,000 shares×$11=$22,000,000 (3)

Note: Refer to Equation (2) for value and computation of weighted average cost of treasury shares.

Compute paid-in capital–share repurchase value.

Paid-in capital–share repurchase} = (Cash received–Treasury stock value )= $30,000,000 – $22,000,000= $8,000,000

Note: Refer to Equations (1) and (3) for the values and computations of cash received and treasury stock value at cost.

(4)

Journalize the sale of treasury stock on May 25, 2018 (Use FIFO method to determine the cost of treasury stock).

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
2018        
May 25 Cash   30,000,000
         Treasury Stock   23,000,000
   

     Paid-in Capital–Share

     Repurchase

  7,000,000

  • Treasury Stock is a stockholders’ equity account and the equity amount has increased due to sale of treasury stock. Therefore, credit Treasury Stock account with $23,000,000.
  • Paid-in Capital–Share Repurchase is a stockholders’ equity account and the amount has increased because treasury stock is sold for more than the price purchased. Therefore, credit Paid-in Capital–Share Repurchase account with $7,000,000.

Compute cash received.

Cash received} = {Number of treasury stock sold × Sale price per stock}= 2,000,000 shares × $15= $30,000,000 (4)

Compute treasury stock at first-in-first-out (FIFO) cost for first 1,000,000 shares.

Treasury stock  for first 1,000,000 shares} = {Number of treasury stock sold ×Purchase price per share}=1,000,000 shares×$13=$13,000,000 (5)

Compute treasury stock at first-in-first-out (FIFO) cost for next 1,000,000 shares.

Treasury stock  for next 1,000,000 shares} = {Number of treasury stock sold ×Purchase price per share}=1,000,000 shares×$10=$10,000,000 (6)

Compute total treasury stock value.

Treasury stock = {Treasury stock value for first 1,000,0000 shares+Treasury stock value for next 1,000,0000 shares}= $13,000,000+$10,000,000= $23,000,000 (7)

Note: Refer to Equations (5) and (6) for values and computations of treasury stock value for first 1,000,000 shares and treasury stock value for next 1,000,000 shares.

Compute paid-in capital–share repurchase value.

Paid-in capital–share repurchase} = (Cash received–Treasury stock value)= $30,000,000 – $23,000,000= $7,000,000
