cash 5,760,000 debit

common stock 600,000 credit

additional paid-in 5,160,000 credit

--to record issuance of shares---

Treasury Stock 774,000 debit

Cash 774,000 credit

--to purchase treasury stock--

Cash 286,000 debit

retained earnings 35,500 debit

Treasury Stock 318,500 credit

--to record reissuance of treasury stock--

Explanation:

We debit cash and credit the equity account, common stok at par value and additional paid in for hte difference

For the purchase of treasury stock is done at cost, we credit the cash disbursement.

For the third as we are selling for a lesser amount we are "lossing" but as the accouting do not allow to record gain/loss on the trade of own stock we use additional paid in when positive and we decrease retained earnings when negative.
