Matthew Palmer · Answer 1

Assets ($20,000) = Treasury Stock $20,000

Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

Treasury Stock Dr. $20,000

To Cash Account $20,000

(Being purchase of treasury stock is recorded)

It is a cash outflow in Financing activities.

Therefore to record the purchase of treasury stock we simply debited the treasury stock as it reduces the equity and we credited the cash account as reduces the assets.
