Under the cost method, when thecorporation reacquires its capital stock you should debit anaccount entitled Treasury Stock (and credit Cash or otherappropriate asset accounts) for the cost paid to reacquire theshares. When the corporation reissues the treasury shares, youshould reduce (credit) the Treasury Stock account for the cost ofthe shares reissued and record the difference between the cashreceived and the cost of the reissued shares as an adjustment ofshareholders' equity. If the cash received exceeds the cost of thereissued treasury stock, you should record the excess as anincrease in additional paid-in capital from treasury stock. If thecash is less than the cost, you should record the "deficit" as areduction of additional paid-in capital from treasury stock. If theadditional paid-in capital from treasury stock is insufficient toabsorb the deficit, you should record the remainder as a reductionin retained earnings. If a company issues capital stock forservices or assets other than cash, you should record thetransaction at the fair value of the stock issued or the noncashconsideration received, whichever is more representationallyfaithful. 2.
