Answer to Problem 4BTN
Solution:
(1). Similarities and differences between (a) and (b);
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (a) treasury stock is reissued at cost value whereas in case of (b) treasury stock is reissued more than cost value that is why additional paid in capital account is credited with the excess value $1600. So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
(2). Similarities and differences between (b) and (c);
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (b) treasury stock is reissued at more than cost value whereas in case of (c) treasury stock is reissued less than cost value that is why additional paid in capital account is credited with the excess value $1600 in case of (b) wheras additional capital account is debited in case of (c). So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
(3). Similarities and differences between (c) and (d);
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (c) treasury stock is reissued at less than cost value whereas in case of (d) treasury stock is also reissued less than cost value that is why additional paid in capital account is debited. In case of (b) there is adequate balance in additional paid in capital account to cover loss on reissue but in case of (d) there is no adequate balance available in additional paid in capital account that is why retained earnings account is also debited with $400. So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
(4). Similarities and differences between (d) and (e);
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (d) treasury stock is reissued at less than cost value whereas in case of (e) treasury stock is also reissued less than cost value. In case of (d) there is not adequate balance in additional paid in capital account to cover loss on reissue that is why additional paid in capital account and retained earnings accounts both are debited. In case of (e) there is no balance available in additional paid in capital account that is why retained earnings account is debited with $1400. So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
Explanation of Solution
Let's see differences and similarities in all cases from (a) to (e) with the help of pair of two entries;
(1). Similarities and differences between (a) and (b);
(a). | Cash (100 * $134) | $13400 | |
Treasury Stock | $13400 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) | |||
(b). | Cash (100 * $150) | $15000 | |
Treasury Stock (100 * $134) | $13400 | ||
Additional paid in capital − Treasury Stock ($15000 - $13400) | $1600 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) | |||
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (a) treasury stock is reissued at cost value whereas in case of (b) treasury stock is reissued more than cost value that is why additional paid in capital account is credited with the excess value $1600. So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
(2). Similarities and differences between (b) and (c);
(b). | Cash (100 * $150) | $15000 | |
Treasury Stock (100 * $134) | $13400 | ||
Additional paid in capital − Treasury Stock ($15000 - $13400) | $1600 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) | |||
(c). | Cash (100 * $120) | $12000 | |
Additional paid in capital − Treasury Stock (100 * $14) | $1400 | ||
Treasury Stock (100 * $134) | $13400 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) | |||
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (b) treasury stock is reissued at more than cost value whereas in case of (c) treasury stock is reissued less than cost value that is why additional paid in capital account is credited with the excess value $1600 in case of (b) wheras additional capital account is debited in case of (c). So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
(3). Similarities and differences between (c) and (d);
(c). | Cash (100 * $120) | $12000 | |
Additional paid in capital − Treasury Stock (100 * $14) | $1400 | ||
Treasury Stock (100 * $134) | $13400 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) | |||
(d). | Cash (100 * $120) | $12000 | |
Additional paid in capital − Treasury Stock | $1000 | ||
Retained earnings ($13400 - $12000 - $1000) | $400 | ||
Treasury Stock (100 * $134) | $13400 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) |
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (c) treasury stock is reissued at less than cost value whereas in case of (d) treasury stock is also reissued less than cost value that is why additional paid in capital account is debited. In case of (b) there is adequate balance in additional paid in capital account to cover loss on reissue but in case of (d) there is no adequate balance available in additional paid in capital account that is why retained earnings account is also debited with $400. So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
(4). Similarities and differences between (d) and (e);
(d). | Cash (100 * $120) | $12000 | |
Additional paid in capital − Treasury Stock | $1000 | ||
Retained earnings ($13400 - $12000 - $1000) | $400 | ||
Treasury Stock (100 * $134) | $13400 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) | |||
(e). | Cash (100 * $120) | $12000 | |
Retained earnings ($13400 - $12000) | $1400 | ||
Treasury Stock (100 * $134) | $13400 | ||
(To record re-issue of treasury stock) |
So on the basis of above two entry it is clear that in case of (d) treasury stock is reissued at less than cost value whereas in case of (e) treasury stock is also reissued less than cost value. In case of (d) there is not adequate balance in additional paid in capital account to cover loss on reissue that is why additional paid in capital account and retained earnings accounts both are debited. In case of (e) there is no balance available in additional paid in capital account that is why retained earnings account is debited with $1400. So cash account debited in both case will differ due to receipt of different amount for reissue. Value of treasury stock credited will be same in both case that is cost of treasury stock.
Thus, above mentioned are the similarities and differences between various cases.
