    Treasury stock is $108,000

    Additional paid-in capital is $42,000

    Explanation:

    In the cost method, when the treasury stock which is re-issued at the price that is in excess or more of its cost, then the additional or extra paid - in capital from the treasury stock is credited against the difference.

    The journal entry which is to be recorded as:

    Cash A/c ... Dr $150,000

    Treasury stock A/c ... Cr $ 108,000

    Additional paid-in capital A/c ... Cr $42,000

    Working Note:

    Additional paid-in capital from transactions of treasury stock = (3,000 * $50) - (3,000 * $36)

    = $150,000 - $108,000

    = $42,000
