### Explanation of Solution

A.

Record the purchase of 87,500 shares of treasury common stock at $8 per share.  Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit ($) Credit ($) Treasury Stock 700,000 Cash (87,500 shares×$8 per share) 700,000 (To record the purchase of 87,500 treasury stock)

Table (3)

Description:

Corporation D has repurchased 87,500 of its own treasury stock for $700,000. • Treasury stock is contra-stockholders’ equity account with a normal debit balance. Thus, when treasury stocks are purchased, it decreases the stockholders’ equity account. In this case, it reduces the stockholders’ equity by$700,000. Therefore, treasury stock account is debited with $700,000. • Cash is an asset. It is decreased as cash is paid for the purchase of treasury stock. Therefore, the cash account is credited with$700,000.

B.

Record the sale of 55,000 shares of treasury stock for cash at $11 per share.  Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit ($) Credit ($) Cash (55,000 shares ×$11 per share) 605,000 Treasury stock (55,000 shares × $8 per share) 440,000 Paid-in capital from treasury stock ($605,000−$440,000) 165,000 (To record sale of treasury stock for above the cost price) Table (4) Description: • Cash is an asset.

• Preferred Stock is a stockholders’ equity account and the amount is increased due to issuance of common stock. Therefore, credit Common Stock account with the value of common stock.
• Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is a stockholders’ equity account and the amount is increased due to increase in capital. Therefore, credit Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value account with the excess amount of cash received over the Preferred Stock value.
