Expert Solution

Cost of treasury shares= $60,000

Number of treasury shares = 12,000

Selling price per treasury share = $7

Cash received from sale of treasury share = Number of treasury shares x Selling price per treasury share

= 12,000 x 7

= $84,000

Amount credited to share premium- treasury = Cash received from sale of treasury share - Cost of treasury shares

= 84,000-60,000

= $24,000

The following entry will be made to record sale of treasury share:

General Journal Debit Credit
Cash 84,000
Treasury share 60,000
Share premium- treasury 24,000

Correct option is a.
