Answer:

Mar 1: Purchased 10,000 shares of treasury stock for $17 per share.

  Debit Credit
Treasury Stock (10,000 shares * $17 per share) $170,000  
Cash   $170,000

Accordingly, the Total stockholders equity will be $6,800,000 - $170,000 = $6,630,000

Common stock, $10 par, 1,000,000 shares authorized, 400,000 shares issued $4,000,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par, common 1,200,000
Retained earnings 1,600,000
Total stockholders’ equity $6,800,000
Less: Treasury Stock (10,000 * $17 per share) -170,000
Total Stockholders Equity $6,630,000

May 5: Sold 4,000 shares of treasury stock for $16 per share. (so a loss)

  Debit Credit
Cash (4000 shares * $16 per share) $64,000  
Paid-in capital - Treasury Stock - Loss (4000 shares *$1 per share) $4,000  
Treasury Stock (at cost) - (at $17 per share)   $68,000

Accordingly,

Common stock, $10 par, 1,000,000 shares authorized, 400,000 shares issued $4,000,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par, common 1,200,000
Retained earnings 1,600,000
Paid-in capital from Treasury stock loss -4,000
Total stockholders’ equity $6,796,000
Less: Treasury Stock (6,000 * $17 per share) -102,000
Total Stockholders Equity $6,694,000

Oct 12: Sold 2,000 shares of treasury stock for $18 per share.

  Debit Credit
Cash (2000 shares * $18 per share) $36,000  
Paid-in capital - Treasury Stock - Gain (2000 shares *$1 per share)   $2,000
Treasury Stock (at cost) - (at $17 per share)   $34,000

Accordingly,

Common stock, $10 par, 1,000,000 shares authorized, 400,000 shares issued $4,000,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par, common 1,200,000
Retained earnings 1,600,000
Paid-in capital from Treasury stock loss (net) -2,000
Total stockholders’ equity $6,798,000
Less: Treasury Stock (4,000 * $17 per share) -68,000
Total Stockholders Equity $6,730,000
