Dr Cash $3,300

Cr Treasury share $3,100

Cr Paid in capital Treasury stock $200

Explanation:

When the shares of a company is issued and bought back, it is called Treasury stock, and can be re-issued or cancelled by the company.

At the time of the purchase

Treasury shares = 100 * $31

= $3,100

Dr Treasury stock $3,100

Cr Cash $3,100

At the time of resale

It is to be noted that the difference in the issuance of Treasury stock is to be transferred to the Paid in capital Treasury stock account.

Proceeds = 100 * $33

= $3,300

Paid in capital Treasury stock.

= $3,300 - $3,100

= $200
