On January 1, 2018 when shares are issued, paid in capital in excess of par is credited by = Number of shares issued x ( issue price per share - Par value per share)
= 100,000 x (9-4)
= $500,000
On February 3, 2018 when shares are retired, common stock will be debited by par value of shares i.e $4 per share.
Share have been repurchased at $6 per share, thus remaining $2 per share will be debited to paid in capital in excess of par.
Thus, common stock will be debited on February 3 by = 3,690 x 4
= $15,840
paid in capital in excess of par will be debited of February 3 by = 3,690 x 2
= $7,920
paid in capital in excess of par balance after February 3 transaction = 500,000 - 7,920
= $492,080
