how to enter the adjusting journal entry for: On 7/1/16, ABC purchased 4,000 shares of its own stock from existing stockholders as treasury stock. The cost of the treasury stock was $5 per share, or $20,000 in total. The effects of this transaction are already shown in the unadjusted trial balance. On 12/31/16, ABC reissued 2,000 shares of the treasury stock at $8 per share. Record the journal entry required for the reissuance of the treasury stock. To refresh your memory, treasury stock is usually accounted for at cost. When treasury stock is reissued for more than its cost, a separate Paid-in Capital-Treasury Stock account should be used to account for the excess proceeds over cost.
