Explanation:

There are two method of accounting for Treasury Stocks.

The Cost method which was used to answer the question and the Par value method.

For purchase of Treasury Stocks.

Using the cost method, the purchase price paid on the stocks is debited to the Treasury Stock account and credited to Bank which is paying.

For sale of Treasury stock

When the company sells its Treasury stock, the inflow received is debited to Bank as usual while the cost of the shares sold is the shareholders equity stock account. The difference in the purchase and selling price rather than go to the Income statement as a gain or loss is instead credited to another stockholder equity account. This is because accounting-wise, a company cannot recognize gain or loss on treasury stock because it is a complete insider information transaction.
