Explanation:

1. Prepare journal entries to record each of these transactions.

Note: See the attached excel file for the journal entries.

The following are tge workings:

w.1: Treasury stock = $5,000 * $20 = $10,000

w.2: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares - Shares repurchase) * Dividend per share = (60,000 - 5,000) * $4 = 55,000 * $4 = $220,000

w.3: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 1,875 * $24 = $45,000

w.4 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 1,875 * $20 = $37,500

w.5: Additional paid in capital = Number of shares sold * (Selling price per share - Treasury price per share) = 1,875 * ($24 - $20) = $7,500

w.6: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 3,125 * $17 = $53,125

w.7 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 3,125 * $20 = $62,500

w.8: Balancing figure = Treasury stock (w.7) – Cash (w.7) - Additional paid in capital (w.5) = $62,500 - $53,125 - $7,500 = $1,875

w.9: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares * Dividend per share = 60,000 * $4 = $240,000
