@jpowell – i think in that example they are saying that after they recorded a gain of 200 in apic for selling 100 shares, they then need to back out that gain in apic bc they sold the other 100 shares at a loss of 700. So i understand the debit to 200 apic – t/s.
maybe, and this is my understanding, but maybe they put the rest of the 500 in retained earnings just to relate to that amount, like of those 200 shares that they reissue they take back their gain previously booked and rest goes in retained earnings.
but i wonder if the example just had the last entry of reissue below cost then if the entry would be:
dr. cash 1,300
dr. apic 700
cr. treasury stock 2000
