Explanation of Solution

The above solution can be explained as below:

  1. The organisation purchased 40000 shares, thus the purchase will be treated as purchase of treasury stock. Treasury Stock is nothing, but the organisation buying its own shares to either increase the demand of its shares in the market, or restrict its voting powers. In this case Treasury stock will be debited and cash will be credited, exactly by the amount paid for such shares. Which is $12 per share, and comes to a total of $480000.
  2. When dividend is declared, dividend will be debited and dividend payable will be credited to create a liability account. Since total outstanding shares are 160000(Excluding Treasury stocks purchased), and dividend is paid at $1.5 per share, thus the total dividend will be $240000.
  3. Dividend provision made in above entry has been paid thus, dividend payable will be debited and cash will be credited.
  4. 24000 Treasury shares purchased have been sold @$13 per share, Thus Treasury stock will be credited by $288000(24000*$12) and $24000 will be credited the Paid in Capital in excess of Treasury. Cash will be debited by total amount of $312000(24000*$13).
  5. 16000 Treasury shares purchased have been sold @$9.5 per share, Thus Treasury stock will be credited by $192000(16000*$20) and $24000 will be debited from the Paid in Capital in excess of Treasury and Remaining amount of Loss of $16000 will be debited from Retained Earnings. Cash will be debited by total amount of $152000(16000*$9.5).
  6. When dividend is declared, dividend will be debited and dividend payable will be credited to create a liability account. Since total outstanding shares are 200000, and dividend is paid at $2.5 per share, thus the total dividend will be $500000.
  7. Dividend provision made in above entry has been paid thus, dividend payable will be debited and cash will be credited.
  8. Income Summary is an account Balance which remains after closing all revenue and expense accounts. Thus Income Summary has a credit balance of $1072000, which will be debited and retained earnings will be credited.
