Explanation:

When using the cost method treasury stock is recorded at the cost of repurchase meaning it does not take into account the Par value and all the excess capital paid.

1 Feb Treasury stock = 2,040*$18 = $36,720

If Treasury stock is reissued for less than its cost then Bank increases with what is received treasury stock decreases by its original cost and the difference is set off against capital paid in excess-Treasury stock and if there is no previous capital paid in excess for treasury stock it is set off against capital paid in excess- common stock then retained earnings if capital paid in excess- common stock is also not available

Explanation:

If the shares from treasury stock are reissued at a price that is higher than their cost, the difference is credited to additional paid-in capital If the shares from treasury stock are reissued at a price that is lower than their cost, the difference is debited to additional paid-in capital. lso at the issue of treasury we record that price and not the par value
