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

The effects of each transaction:
- a. Issued 60,000 shares of the common stock at $12 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 | +720,000(1) | No effect | Common stock Additional paid-in capital common |
+600,000(2) +120,000(3) |
Table (1)
- b. Required 2,000 shares at $15 cash per share from stockholders; the shares are now held in treasury.
Assets | Liabilities | Stockholders’ equity | |||
b. | Cash | -30,000 | No effect |
Treasury stock (+xSE) |
-30,000 |
Table (2)
- c. Reissued 1000 shares in transaction (b) two months; later at $18 cash per share.
Calculate the cash:
Calculate the treasury stock:
Calculate the additional paid in treasury:
Assets | Liabilities | Stockholders’ equity | |||
c. | Cash | +18,000(4) | No effect | Treasury stock (-xSE) Additional paid-in capital treasury |
+15,000(5) +3,000(6) |
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 increase in the contra-equity decreases the Stockholders’ equity).
c.
- Reissued the stocks. Hence, the effect on the accounting equation is increase in cash (asset) and decrease in contra equity increases the stockholders’ equity. And increase in the additional paid in capital-treasury increases the stockholders’ equity.

- Additional paid in capital (common stock), there is an issue of stocks at premium of $2. There is an increase in the common stock which increases the stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit additional paid in capital with $120,000.
- b. Journal entry for reacquiring of shares from stockholders:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) | |
b. | Treasury stock
|
30,000 | ||
Cash | 30,000 | |||
(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 $30,000.
- Cash is an asset. There is a decrease in the asset. Hence, credit cash account with $30,000.
- c. Journal entry for reissuance of treasury stock:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) | |
c. | Cash

Table (6)
- Cash is an asset. There is an increase in the asset. Hence, credit cash account with $18,000.
- Treasury stock is a contra-equity. There is a decrease in the contra equity which increases stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit treasury stock with $15,000.
- 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 $3,000.
