Cash received is $\$4,030,000\left(65,000\text{ shares}\times \$62\text{ per share}\right)$

Common stock is $\$65,000\left(65,000\times \$1\text{ par value per share}\right)$

Additional paid-in capital is $\$3,965,000\left(\$4,030,000-\$65,000\right)$

Description:

• Cash is an asset. There is an increase in asset value. Therefore, it is debited.
• Common stock account and additional paid in capital are stockholders’ equity. There is an increase in stockholders’ equity value. Therefore, it is credited.

	(To record the cash dividends declared)

Table (3)

• Cash dividend of $2.00 per share is declared to all the shareholders. Number of shares for which dividend declared are 159,000, which is calculated as follows:

  $\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Number of shares}\\ \text{outstanding}\end{array}\}\text{ = }\left[\begin{array}{l}\text{Number of shares outstanding at the beginning of 2018+}\\ \text{Number of additional shares issued at March 1 }-\\ \text{Number of shares repurchased at May 10}\end{array}\right]\\ =\text{100,000 shares + 65,000 shares }-\text{ 6,000 shares}\\ \text{=159,000 shares}\end{array}$

• Dividends are a stockholders’ equity account. There is a decrease in stockholders’ value of $390,000. Therefore, it is debited by $390,000.

October 21, 2015	Cash $\left(3,000\times \$70\right)$		$210,000
	Treasury Stock $\left(3,000\times \$65\right)$			195,000
	Additioanl Paid-in capital (difference)			15,000
	(To record the resale of treasury stock)

Table (4)

Description:

• Cash is an asset. It is increased as cash is received from the sale of treasury stock. Therefore, the cash account is credited with $210,000.
• Treasury stock is contra-stockholders’ equity account with a normal debit balance. Thus, when treasury stocks are sold at its cost price, then cash would be debited and treasury stock would be credited. But, when treasury stocks are sold for higher than its cost price, then cash would be debited and treasury stock would be credited for cost price, and paid-in capital from treasury stock would be credited for excess selling price over the purchase price.

Now calculate the total additional paid in capital as follows:

Additional paid in capital as on January 1, 2015	$5,500,000
Additional paid in capital raised from additional issue of 65,000 common shares	$3,965,000
Additional paid in capital raised from reissue of treasury stock	$15,000
Total Additional paid in capital as on December 31, 2015	(1) $9,480,000

Now calculate total amount of retained earnings as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Retained earnings }=\left(\begin{array}{l}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Beginning retained earnings }+\\ \text{Net income}\end{array}\right)-\\ \text{Dividends payable}\end{array}\right)\\ =\left(\$3,000,000+\$700,000\right)-\$318,000\\ =\$3,700,000-\$318,000\\ =\$3,382,000\end{array}$ (2)

Now, calculate the par value of 3,000 treasury stock:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{ Par value }=\text{No of shares }\times \text{ Par value}\\ =3,000\times \$65.00\\ =\$195,000\end{array}$ (3)
