FRANCHISE ACCOUNTING


WHAT IS FRANCHISING   it is where a leading , known business entered into agreement  in which for fee ONE PARTY ( FRANCHISOR)  gives the other party ( FRANCHISEE)  the rights to perform certain functions  or sell certain products or services of the franchisor.

A SUBSTANTIAL PERFORMANCE  OF THE FRANCHISOR IS THE KEY TO RECOGNITION OF THE INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE.   SUBSTANTIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE FRANSHISOR DENOTES CONSUMMATION OFTHE TRANSACTIONS  WHEN:

       1.   THERE IS NO REMAINING OBLIGATION BY AGREEMENT , TRADE OR PRACTICE  TO REFUND THE INITIAL FEE.   OR TO EXCUSE NON PAYMENT OF UNPAID NOTES
2.  SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE INITIAL SERVICES OF THE FRANCHISOR HAVE BEEN PERFORMED
3. ALL OTHER CONDITIONS WHICH AFFECT CONSUMMATION  HAVE BEEN MET.

EXAMPLE :

INITIAL FEE IS 250,000.00 ,   INITIAL DOWN IS 50,000, BALANCE OF 40,000 YEARLY PAY AT 12% INTEREST.

METHOD  1 (   THE SUBSTANTIAL FUTURE  SERVICES ARE YET TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FRANCHISEE, THAT MEANS PERFORMANCE OF FRANCHISOR HAS YET TO OCCUR.

CASH                                  50,000
NOTES RECEIVABLE      200,000
     UNEARNED INITIAL FEE                250,000

TAKE NOTE IT IS CREDITED TO A  SUSPENSE ACCOUNT, OR  DEFERRED ACCOUNT OR A LIABILITY ACCOUNT. BECAUSE THE PERFORMANCE HAS NOT YET SUBSTANTIALLY MET.

METHOD 2    THE PROBABILITY OF REFUNDING IS  REMOTE  AND THE AMOUNT OF FUTURE SERVICES OF FRANCHISOR IS MINIMAL, THAT MEANS PERFORMANCE HAS ALMOST TAKEN PLACE.

CASH                         50,000
NOTES REC              200,000
          REVENUE EARNED     250,000
TAKE NOTE IT IS CREDITED TO AN DEFINITE INCOME ACCOUNT BECAUSE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AGREEMENT TO TAKE PLACE.


METHOD  3

 THE DOWN PAYMENT IS NOT REFUNDABLE ,  BUT  A SIGNIFICANT SERVICES BY THE FRANCHISOR IS YET TO BE PERFORMED

CASH
NOTES
         UNEARNED                  200,000
         REVENUE EARNED       50,000
 SINCE  THE DOWN IS NOT REFUNDABLE , IS CREDITED DIRECT TO INCOME ACCOUNT.

METHOD 4

THE DOWN IS NOT REFUNDABLE ., THE COLLECTION OF NOTES IS UNCERTAIN , SO NOTES IS NOT RECORDED

CASH     50,000
       EARNED REVENUE

METHOD 5

THE DOWN IS EITHER  REFUNDABLE .  OR SUBSTANTIAL  SERVICES MUST BE PERFORMED BEFORE THE FEE CAN BE CONSIDERED EARNED.

CASH
     UNEARNED FEE


IN THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT , THERE ARE A LOT OF CONDITIONS:

1.  THERE IS AN INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE NORMALLY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS WITH A LOT OF CONDITIONS SUCH AS:
       a.   AMOUNT OF DOWN PAYMENT AT A CERTAIN TIME  LIKE UPON SIGNING OF THE AGREEMENT
b.  a certain amount again on a certain date  say  start of operation ,  or a certain conditions that has to be met.
c.   the balance covered by a notes with interest  for a certain period  and the date of the start of amortization


2.  THERE IS ALSO SOME COST OR EXPENSES BY THE FRANCHISOR  ASSOCIATED TO THE INITIAL FEE  SUCH AS TRANSFER OF FIXED ASSETS,  TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT COST  .  ALL OF WHICH IS TIED UP WITH A DATE OF PERFORMANCE.

3.  THERE IS ALSO  A CONTINUING FEE BASED ON WHATEVER IS THE AGREEMENT, SAY A PERCENTAGE OF SALES,   FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PERIODS, THEN THAT FEE IS CHANGED FOR  ANOTHER AMOUNT ONWARD.
4.   THERE IS ALSO A CONTINUING COST TO BE INCURRED BY FRANCHISOR .  THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THIS CONTINUING COST IS ALSO DETERMINED.


ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM

A CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED ON MAY 1, 2011, WITH THE FF; PROVISIONS

 1.  AN INITIAL IRREVOCABLE FEE OF 500,000  TO BE PAID AS FF:
                100,000 UPON SIGNING  mAY 1, 2011
                  50,000  WHEN OPERATION STARTS. IN OCTOBER 2011
                 350,000 PAYABLE 7 YEARS  OR 50,000 BEG.  MAY 1 2011 AT 12% INTEREST.

2.   DIRECT COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIAL FEE   THIS IS NOT A CONTINUING COST,  THIS IS RELATIVE TO THE INITIAL FEE.

                a           80,000 COST OF EQUIPMENT  DELIVERY ON MAY1  2011, THE FAIR MARKET IS 120,000.
             b.  initial services of 140,000 ,  50,000 prior to signing,   90,000 to be incurred in oct 1 2011.

3.  CONTINUING FEE of 10% of gross  sales  , which is estimated to be 90,000 per month , for  3 years , then 150,000  a month thereafter.

4.  CONTINUING COST  starting the commencemnent of operation,   to be incurred by franchisor 10,000 a month., these cost have a fair market value of 11,000.


JOURNAL ENTRIES:

MAY 1  

1.         CASH                                    100,000
            NOTES REC.                        350,000
                     REVENUE                                          120,000
                   UNEARNED REVENUE                      330,000

THE REVENUE OF 120,000 IS ARRIVED AT BECAUSE THE EQUIPMENT WAS PERFORMED BY THE FRANCHISOR ON TIME,  OF COURSE THE 330,000 IS ASSUMED TO BE UNEARNED DEPENDING ON THE DATE OF  THE PERFORMANCE OF  ANY AGREEMENT.

2.  COST OF EQUIPMENT                  80,000
       MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT             80,000

OF COURSE IF THERE IS ACCUMULATED DEPN , IT IS DEBITED

3.   FRANCHISE EXPENSE                  60,000

       THIS IS AS PER AGREEMENT TO BE RECEIVED OCT.

2.    UNEARNED INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE        258,000
                REVENUE FROM INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE           258,000

       explanation : since all the agreement by oct  has already been met, a need to recognized the actual revenue must be computed.
 supposed to be  the 330,000 is credited to revenue on entry no. 2 in OCT.  but  the 72,000 has not incurred yet by the franchisor because it will be incurred monthly, hence cannot credit to revenue in total now.   THAT IS WHY   330,000 LESS  72,000 IS  258,000.00   this 72,000 will be amortized for 36 months.

       THE INITIAL FEE IS                                                                                         500,000

LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTING


BECAUSE  OF THE LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO FINISH A CERTAIN PROJECT  BEING UNDERTAKEN BY CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH INCOME SHOULD BE RECOGNIZE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT CONSIDERING THAT THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT WILL NOT BE FINISHED IN THE ORDINARY ACCOUNTING PERIOD,  HENCE  AN ACCOUNTING FOR SUCH SITUATION WAS DEVELOP.

THAT ARE TWO METHODS THAT WAS DEVELOP TO ANSWER FOR THIS ISSUE.

 A.  PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION METHOD
B.   COMPLETED CONTRACT METHOD.

UNDER THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION METHOD,  THE PERCENTAGE OF THE ACTUAL AMOUNT SPENT  AT THE END OF THE INTERIM PERIOD IS OBTAINED AGAINST THE TOTAL   ESTIMATED COST THAT IS STILL  NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT  AT THE END OF THE INTERIM PERIOD.

WHAT ARE THE ACCOUNTS USED IN CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTING

1. CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS -
   
              A.   DEBITED FOR THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION
              B    DEBITED FOR THE NET REVENUE
 
               A.   CREDITED TO NEGATIVE NET REVENUE( EXCEPT WHEN A TOTAL LOSS WILL BE INCURRED.
               B.    CREDITED AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE CONTRACT PRICE  BY DEBIT TO ADVANCE BILLING.

THAT MEANS  THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF TRANSACTION THAT ENTERS TO THIS ACCOUNT,   THE  COST  AND THE PROFIT , WHICH TOTALS THE CONTRACT PRICE.

AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT THE BALANCE OF THIS ACCOUNT  SHALL BE CLOSED TO THE ADVANCE BILLING ACCOUNT WHICH ACCUMULATES THE REGULAR BILLING OF THE CONTRACT PRICE  WHICH IS DEBITED TO  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CREDITED TO ADVANCE BILLING. NATURALLY , THE ADVANCE BILLING WILL DEFINITELY HAVE A BALANCE REPRESENTING THE CONTRACT PRICE.

2.  ADVANCE BILLING ACCOUNT

                CREDITED EVERY TIME A BILLING STATEMENT IS MADE  AND WOULD END UP WITH THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE   AND DEBITED AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE CONTRACT PRICE. WITH THE CREDIT TO CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

3.  CONSTRUCTION EXPENSE OR COST

       DEBITED TO THE  AMOUNT  ARRIVED AT BY MULTIPLYING THE  COMPLETION PERCENTAGE OF THE PROJECT AS AGAINST THE  PARTIAL AND ESTIMATED COST TO FINISH THE PROJECT.    RATIO  X   TOTAL ESTIMATED COST OF THE PROJECT

4.   CONSTRUCTION REVENUE   = CREDITED TO THE AMOUNT ARRIVED AT BY MULTIPLYING THE COMPLETION RATIO AS AGAINST THE  TOTAL PROJECT PRICE

            :
SAMPLE:

   TOTAL  COST ALREADY INCURRED  TODATE                      300   23.1%
   ADD: ESTIMATED COST  STILL TO BE INCURRED UNTIL
THE PROJECT IS FINISHED                                                         1,000

TOTAL  PARTIAL ACTUAL COST AND ESTIMATED COST
TO FINISH THE PROJECT                                                            1,300   100%

THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION IS  23.1%

THIS PERCENTAGE 23.1%  WILL NOW BE APPLIED TO THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE  OF THE PROJECT TO GET THE GROSS  REVENUE.( JUST LIKE GROSS SALES )

THE SAME PERCENTAGE SHALL BE APPLIED TO THE  ACCUMULATED ACTUAL COST PLUS THE ESTIMATED COST STILL NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT TO BE ABLE TO GET THE EQUIVALENT COST  INCURRED  AS OF THAT DATE ( JUST LIKE COST OF SALES)

EXAMPLE:

   ASSUMING CONTRACT PRICE IS                     5,000
     MULTIPLY BY     23.1%                                      1,155   AS GROSS REVENUE
LESS:  ESTIMATED COST TO FINISH   1,300
MULTIPLY BY 23.1%                               23.1%        300.30 AS COST OF FINISHED PORTION.

 EQUALS THE REVENUE FOR THIS PERIOD        854.70

CONTRACT PRICE  WHOLE CONTRACT                    5,000
LESS: ESTIMATED COST  WHOLE CONTRACT          1,300
  EXPECTED  REVENUE                                                  3,700
SINCE 23.!% IS FINISHED   X  3700.00 =  854.70

IN EFFECT THIS 854.70 IS  23.!% OF  THE  NET REVENUE, JUST LIKE THE GROSS PROFIT IN CASE OF NON CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS.

THEN THE ORDINARY TRANSACTION WILL BE THE SAME SUCH AS:

1.  THE PURCHASE OR USE OF  MATERIALS , LABOR , OVERHEAD ETC. THE RECORDING SYSTEM  WOULD DEPEND ON THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM THAT THE COMPANY WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT,  SAYING THEY WANT TO REFLECT THE COST OF MATERIALS, LABOR , OVERHEAD AND OTHER COST.

    CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS     300
           CASH OR PAYABLE                            300

2.  THE BILLING

        ACCTS. RECEIVABLE                     20
           ADVANCE BILLING                            20

3, COLLECTION
        CASH                                              20
           ACCTS. REC                                      20

4. THE RECOGNITION OF THE   REVENUE
         CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS             1,155

             CONSTRUCTION REVENUE                   1,155
                      
5. TO RECORD THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION

           CONSTRUCTION COST                             300.30
                     CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS                  300.30

AT THE END OF YEAR OF CONTRACT , THE TOTAL BALANCE OF THE CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS ACCOUNT WOULD BE  THE TOTAL COST , PLUS THE NET REVENUE  ( MARK UP X  COMPLETION RATIO  100%.( what isbeing debited to construction in process acct is the whole cost of building that project  and the profit or mark up ..

 THIS CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED TO  ADVANCE BILLING ACCOUNT.SINCE  THIS IS AN OFFSET TO ACCTS. RECEIVABLE WHICH THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE WILL PASSED THRU THIS ACCTS. REC. ACCT.
THE CONSTRUCTION REVENUE ACCOUNT WOULD BE THE MARK UP ITSELF.


IN EFFECT   THE NET BALANCE OF THE CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS IN THE ENTRY IN NO. 4, 5  REPRESENTS THE REVENUE FOR THE PERIOD  HANGED IN THE ASSET ACCOUNT  CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS AS A TEMPORARY ACCOUNT UNTIL IT WILL BE CLOSED AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT.

=======================================================================

POSSIBLE LOSS ON LONG TERM CONSTRUCTION

there is a possibility that while the construction is going on, it is estimated that it will incur a loss.

there are two types of loss.

1.   the estimated future cost may indicate a loss on the current period, but there will be a profit on the total contract.
2.  the estimated cost may indicate that  totally a loss will be incurred.

EXAMPLE  of  a contract that the result will be a net loss as whole, that means it may have profit on some years but in total for the whole contract it will be a net loss.

the following data is given:

              CONST. IN PROGRESS         191,100                     386100

THERE IS A PROFIT OF 54,600 IN YEAR 1, BUT IN YEAR TWO , THERE IS A LOSS OF 85,800.

TAKE NOTE THAT BY THE END OF YEAR 2 , IT IS ESTIMATED THE  YEAR 3 WILL ALSO BE  A LOSS JUST LIKE THE 2ND YEAR.

IF A LOSS IS EXPECTED FOR THE WHOLE CONTRACT , THE ENTIRE LOSS OF THE WHOLE CONTRACT  SHOULD ALREADY BE RECOGNIZED IN THE YEAR WHERE IT IS DISCOVERED. THAT MEANS  THE CUMULATIVE PROFIT AS THAT DATE MUST BE THE AMOUNT OF THE TOTAL LOSS

THE REGULAR ENTRY DEBITING CONSTRUCTION COST  OR EXPENSE FOR YEAR 2 IS STILL NEEDED  AND THE CREDIT TO  CONSTRUCTION REVENUE ,  AND A CREDIT TO CONST. IN PROGRESS  FOR THE GROSS LOSS..

IF THIS THE CASE THE COMPUTATION OF NET REVENUE  IN yr. 3 Need TO BE IGNORED.. EVEN THE SUPPOSED CREDIT TO CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS ACCOUNT  IN RECOGNIZING THE NET LOSS IN YEAR 2 NEED  TO BE REVERSED  BECAUSE IF THE WHOLE CONTRACT WILL BE A LOSS THERE IS NO USE to have A BALANCE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS ACCOUNT  REPRESENTING A LOSS ( note that construction in progress includes the net revenue ), that is why even the profit of year 1  , debited to construction in process has to be reversed , in year 2.  SO WHAT IS LEFT ON THE BALANCE OF CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS ACCOUNT IS THE CUMULATIVE COST OR EXPENSE IN CONSTRUCTING THE PROJECT.

NOW SINCE THE LOSS IN YEAR 3 HAS TO BE RECOGNIZED IN YEAR TWO AN ENTRY DEBITING CONST. COST OR EXPENSE AND CREDITING  RESERVE FOR LOSS  IS NEEDED SO THAT THE CUMULATIVE PROFIT FOR YEAR WILL APPEAR TO BE THE WHOLE TOTAL LOSS OF THE PROJECT. 

 IN SHORT THE ABOVE STATEMENT  IN SUMMARY APPEARS LIKE THIS

                     CONST. COST     249,600
                             CONSTRUCTION REVENUE        163,800
                            CONST. IN PROGRESS                      85,800    LOSS
                   to record the const. cost this year and the revenue at 39% and record the loss

                  CONS. IN PROGRESS       85,800
                              RESERVE FOR LOSS YEAR 2       85,800
                    to reclassify the above entry so tha the const. in progress be closed to reserve for loss

                
                 RESERVE FOR LOSS YEAR 1     54,600
                                CONST. IN PROGRESS            54,600  
                             to reverse the balance of const. in progress last year and charged to reserve for loss

                CONSTRUCTION COST                      48,800
                               RESERVE FOR CONTRACT LOSS              48,800
               to  anticipate the loss in year 3 by crediting it to reserve for loss

  IN EFFECT THIS IS THE COMPOUND ENTRY:
of the above entries:

                 CONST COST EXP                 298,400
                        CONST. REVENUE                            163,800
                         RESERVES FOR CONTRACT LOSS 80,000
                         CONST. IN PROGRESS                     54,600
                                            
                                  

SUMMARING THESE ENTRIES ,  THE CONST. IN PROGRESS WOULD NOW  HAVE A BALANCE REPRESENTING  THE  TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT AS OF YEAR TWO OF 386,100 AND DOES NOT ANYMORE INCLUDE THE PROFIT IN YEAR 1 54,600  AND NET LOSS OF YEAR 2 OF 85,800.00,  THEREFORE 54,600  IN CONST. IN PROCESS  LAST YEAR   IS DEBITED TO RESERVE FOR LOSS, AND THE 85,800  CREDIT TO CONST. IN PROGRESS YEAR 2 IS DEBITED AND CREDITED TO  RESERVE FOR LOSS.

THE NET LOSS IN YEAR 3,  OF 48,800  WILL BE RECORDED THIS YEAR 2 AND CHARGD TO RESERVE FOR CONTRACT LOSS.

IF THE RULE IS, IF THE WHOLE CONTRACT WILL BA LOSS,  THEYEAR WHERE THE LOSS IS KNOWN SHOULD RECOGNIZED THE TOTAL LOSS of the whole contract  THAT MEANS THE LOSS IN THE SUCCEEDING YEARS SHOULD ALSO BE CHARGED TO THE YEAR WHERE THE TOTAL LOSS WAS KNOWN. IN THIS CASE IN YEAR 2

IF THIS IS CASE THE RETAINED EARNINGS AS OF THE YEAR WHERE THE LOSS IS ANTICIPATED MUST TURNED OUT TOBE EQUAL TO  THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE CONTRACT. EVEN THE CONTRACT  HAS NOT YET ENDED.

IN THE YEAR 3 , THE  FOLLOWING ENTRIES

CONSTRUCTION  IN PROGRESS               603,900
     ACCTS. PAYABLE                                             603,900

        CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS                 990,000
to close advance billing  andclose  the construction in progress and the reserve for contract loss.

IF YOU TAKE THE BALANCE SHEET BALANCE  AS OF YEAR 3

    ACCTS. RECEIVABLE                        910,000   THE CONTRACT PRICE assume no collection.

TREASURY STOCKS



TREASURY STOCKS

When a company's issued or sold stocks is reacquired afterwhich held in its name  rather than formally retired ,  it is referred to TREASURY STOCKS.

These treasury stocks may be subsequently be re issued or sold or formally retired..

Treasury stock should not be viewed as an asset, instead, it should be reported as reduction to the owners equity . It does not confer upon the corporation stockholders right, such as dividends or voting rights.
Treasury shares may or may not participate in stock dividends, or stock splits,

The acquisition of treasury stocks decreases the number of shares outstanding, while reissuing it increases the number of shares outstanding, but the legal capital is not changed  either by the reacquistion or reissuance.

there is no income or less on the reacquisition , reissuance or retirement .   Howver, the retained earnings can be decreased by the treasury stock transactions , but is never increased by such transactions.

TWO METHODS   ON HOW TO RECORD TREASURY TRANSACTIONS

1.  COST METHOD    -    the purchase or reacquisition is recorded by debiting treasury stock account for the cost of the purchase  and crediting cash.

   TREASURY STOCK ( actual price x no of shares
                      cash 

             the cost is determined by the CURRENT MARKET PRICE OF THE STOCK  and is not necessary tied to the original issue price when it was sold.
   the balance of the treasury stock is deducted from the stockholders equity as a separate amount..

   when it will be finally RETIRED , the debit balance in the treasury stock is CREDITED and the debits are  allocated proportionately to the appropriate CAPITAL STOCK., PAID IN CAPITAL, and  RETAINED EARNINGS as ff

1.  debited amount for capital stock is  number shares retired  x  par value, this is to reduce the stocks outstanding.
2.  debit paid in capital account :   no. of shares retired divided by outstanding shares x balance of paid in capital accounts.( why debit this account , because this treasury when this was originally issued may have created the paid in capital , hence , this is debited to paid in capital.
3.  the balance is debited to retained earnings.( this is not to distort the profit and loss statement since this transaction is not an ordinary expense.

If the treasury stock is subsequently sold, the difference between  acquisition cost when it was reacquired  and the selling price is  credited to PAID IN CAPITAL .

 the entry is , if sold  at book value.
 
               CASH        
                        TREASURY STOCK   ( no. of share x price when it was reacquired)


  entry if sold more than book value

            CASH
                     TREASURY STOCK (  shares sold x acquisition cost)
                     PAID IN CAPITAL FROM TREASURY( excess of price vs. acquisition cost x shares sold)

IF SOLD LESS THAN BOOK VALUE

      CASH
       PAID IN  capital from treasury ( this is debited if there is previous credit to this account  caused by sale of treasury stock. before , if none then debited to retiained earnings.
                    TREASURY STOCK

if the stockholders equity increase due to sale of treasury stock , a paid in capital account such as PAID IN CAPITAL FROM TREASURY STOCK  IS CREDITED.
 ,
IF THE stockholder equity is decreased  due to sale less than its acquisition cost,  PAID CAPITAL IS DEBITED TO THE EXTENT OF A CREDIT TO PAID CAPITAL PREVIOUSLY RECORDED because it was sold previously at more than the acquisition cost.

if no previous sale made where a paid in capital was registered, and the subsequent sale was made at below acquisition cost then the whole difference between the cash and the value of treasurry stock is debited to retained earnings.

EXAMPLE:  THE OUTSTANDING SHARES IS 10,000 SHARES  10 PAR VALUE, BUT SOLD AT 15.00 SO THERE IS A PAID IN CAPITAL OF 50,000

1.      1000 SHARES WAS REACQUIRED AT 16.00 PER SHARE.

      TREASURY STOCK              16,000
               CASH                                          16,000

2.  SOLD 200 OF TREASURY STOCK AT  20.00, OR 4.00 MORE THAN BOOK VALUE.

          CASH                  4,000
                TREASURY STOCK                       3,200
                PAID IN CAPITAL TREASURY         800  ( 4  X 200)

3.  SOLD 500 AT 14  OR  2.00 LESS THAN THE ACQUISITION COST OF 16.00

             CASH                                            7,000
              PAID IN CAPITAL                         800   taken from previous credit when some were sold
              retained earnings                               200
                          treasury stock                                8,000

4.  RETIRED  300 SHARES  THE REMAINING TREASURY STOCK

              CAPITAL STOCK    300 X 10                                  3,000
               PAID IN CAPITAL  300 divide 10,000 x 50,000      1,500                       
               retained earnings                                                            300
                         treasury stock (   300 x 16.00)                                      4,800

IN THE PRESENTATION OF STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY,  PRIOR TO REACQUISITION AND SALE  ,THE  TREASURY STOCK IS SHOWN AS A DEDUCTION NOT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK BUT IN A SEPARATE  ITEM.

      COMMON STOCK                                        100,000
       PAID N  CAPITAL                                           50,000
             TOTAL                                                      150,000
        RETAINED EARNINGS                                  30,000
        LESS : TREASURY STOCK                          ( 16,000)
       STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY                           164,000

+++++++++++=======================================================

2.  PAR OR STATED VALUE METHOD OF ACCOUNTING  TREASURY STOCK.

    If the par value method is used , the purchase of treasury stock is regarded as a WITHDRAWAL of group of stockholders.   Similarly the sale of  reissuance of treasury stock, under this method is viewed as the ADMISSION OF NEW GROUP OF STOCKHOLDERS

THUS THE  REACQUISITION AND SALE ARE VIEWED AS SEPARATE TRANSACTIONS.

USING THE ABOVE EXAMPLE, THE FOLLOWING ENTRIES ARE MADE.
1.   REACQUISITION:

         TREASURY STOCK     ( 1,000 X 10                                               10,000

2.  SELL   200 AT 20.00 PER SHARE

             CASH                                          4,000
