I am so confused as to why the answers are what they are in the retained earnings and paid in capital from treasury sections (answers highlighted in red are the ones i got wrong). Can someone please explain how to calculate the correct values for retained earnings and paid in capital to treasury to me which is the screen on the right.
Help me understand accounting homework
I should also add the previous section of the problem.
holy fuck you retard
you literally just posted the solution in the same image.
no, i am comparing my answers to the provided answers, I want to know how to get those answers because I could not figure it out.
ur retarded ass only cares about getting the answer right if its available. I want to know how to do it so that I am able to understand the process.
$15 is the par value of the stock it purchased 3/1. You're now selling that stock off, but you sold it for $14 not the $15 par value. So you get the cash, but have to debit paid-in capital account (lowering it). Notice how on 7/1 you sold it for $17 and it was credited?
Also, retained earnings is the rollover from your income statement. RE and Equity aren't the same thing.
Oh, I see what's going on. It looks like it's treating it as some kind of distribution/dividend. Is that mentioned somewhere?
