How should a company record treasury shares reissued below their cost when APIC from treasury stock is available?
I see a problem where the reissue price is below treasury cost and there is some APIC balance from prior reissues. What is the order of operations?
The company debits cash for the proceeds, debits APIC from treasury stock for the shortfall up to the available APIC balance, and credits treasury stock for the shares' recorded cost. Retained earnings is debited only if the shortfall is larger than the available APIC from treasury stock.
