Prepare journal entries for the purchase of the treasury stock and the three sales of treasury stock. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit

Treasury Stock 240,000

Cash 240,000

(To record purchase from stockholders.)

Cash 99,450 (1,950 shares x $51)

Treasury Stock 93,600 ($240,000/5,000 shares)x1950

Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock 5,850 (99,450-93,600)

(To record sales of shares at $51 per share.)

Cash 89,700 (1,950 shares x $46)

Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock 3,900 (93,600-89,700)

Treasury Stock 93,600 ($240,000/5,000 shares)x1950

(To record sales of shares at $46 per share.)

Cash 44,000 (1,100 shares x $40)

Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock ?

Retained Earnings ?

Treasury Stock 52,800 ($240,000/5000 shares) x 1,100

(To record sale of shares at $40 per share.)

I figured out all of the answers except the last one, how to record sale of shares at $40 per share. I cannot figure out what to debit for Paid-in Capital from Treasury stock or for Retained Earnings. How do I calculate this?
