2) Journalize the entries to record the transactions, and post to the eight selected accounts. To begin with you need to know that there are 400,000 shares of common stock issued but, because of the Treasury Stock, only 360,000 shares outstanding. You only need to worry about the shares outstanding when calculating dividends. Jan 4. paid cash dividends of $0.13 per share on the common stock.
