    Explanation:

    Treasury stock is the share of the company issued earlier and bought-back. It can be reissued and cancelled by the company.

    May 14

    Treasury Shares = 2,300 x $49 = $112,700

    Sale

    All the difference in the issuance of treasury stock will be transferred to Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock account.

    September 6,

    Proceeds = 1,800 x $52 = $93,600

    Cost = 1,800 x $49 = $88,200

    Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock = $93,600 - $88,200 = $5,400

    November 30,

    Proceeds = 500 x $46 = $23,000

    Cost = 500 x $49 = $24,500

    Paid-In-Capital Treasury Stock = $24,500 - $23,000 = $1,500
