    The credit entry for the issue of 5000 shares is:

    Cr Treasury stock $100,000

    Cr Paid-in capital from treasury stock $35,000

    Explanation:

    The par value of the common stock issue ($20 per share) is credited to treasury stock account, while the excess of issue price of $27 over the par value of $20, $7 per share is credited to paid-in capital from treasury stock

    The full double entries for the issue of 5000 shares is as follows:

    Dr Cash ($27*5000) $135,000.00

    Cr Treasury stock ($20*5000) $100,000

    Cr Paid-in capital from treasury stock ($7*5000) $35,000

    Under International Financial Reporting Standards, the credit entries would be that par value is credited to equity share capital and the excess credited to share premium account.
