Explanation:

1. Issue of 52,000 additional shares results to a credit to the Common Stock account with 52,000 x $1 par value.  This is equal to $52,000.  The additional $48 x 52,000 goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital.

2. Treasury stock is the repurchase of outstanding stock by the company.  When repurchase at more than the par value, the difference is a debit to the Additional Paid-in Capital account, when the par value method is adopted.  The other method, which records the whole costs in the Treasury Stock account is the cost method.  Remember that the Treasury Stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account.

3. Dividends are payable on outstanding stock.  The outstanding stock on June 1 to June 15 is calculated as follows:

Opening balance = 100,000 shares

New issue = 52,000 shares

less Treasury = (4,700)

Total = 147,300 shares

Dividends are then payable on 147,300 shares at $1.35 per share.  This gives a total of $198,855.

4. The resale of Treasury stock reduces the balance of the treasury stock account at par value and increases the Additional Paid-in Capital account with the premium.
