Helen Hancock · Answer 1

(a) none

(b) decrease by 11,000

(c) none

(d) decrease by 11,000

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the purchase of treasury stock will be as follow:

treasury stocks 11,000 debit

cash 11,000 credit

The treasury stock will be a contra-equity account. Will decrease the total stockholders equity by their cost.

Total assets decrease as cash is used to purchase the shares

It will not change the net income as none revenue or expense account is uded.
