    It will credit:

    Treasury Stock for 144,000

    Additional Paid-in TS for 56,000

    Explanation:

    for the purchase Hobbs did:

    treasury stock 216,000

    cash 216,000

    the entry for the issuance of 8,000 shares will be:

    cash proceeds debit: 8,000 x 25 = 200,000

    treasury stock at cost: 8,000 18 = 144,000 credit

    additional paid-in treasury stock for the difference 200,000 - 144,000 = 56,000

    the entry will be:

    cash 200,000 debit

    Treasury Stock 144,000 credit

    Sdditional Paid-in TS 56,000 credit
