Retained earnings                                                         $864,000

a)journal entry to record the purchase of shares on Oct 11

Date  Account                                Debit                 Credit

Oct 11 Treasury stock                     $125,000

Cash                                                                $125,000

value of the Treasury stock=No.of shares×Value per share

=5,000×$25  =$125,000

Treasury stock                                                       $25,000

Paid in capital from the sale of the stock

(31,000 - 25,000)                                                      $6,000

Calculation

Cash =No.of shares×Value per share

Remaining treasury shares = 5000-1000= $4000

Cash =No.of shares×Value per share

=4, 000× 20  =$80 ,000

Treasury stock=No.of shares× purchased value of share

=4,000×$25  =$100,000
