Treasury stock is shares of a company's own stock that it has repurchased. When a company buys back its own stock, it reduces the number of outstanding shares, which can increase the company's earnings per share. However, treasury stock does not directly impact retained earnings, as it is recorded separately on the balance sheet. Retained earnings are affected by the company's net income and dividends paid to shareholders.
Treasury stock impacts retained earnings by reducing the amount of equity available for distribution to shareholders. When a company buys back its own shares and holds them as treasury stock, the value of those shares is subtracted from the company's total equity. This reduction in equity can lower the overall retained earnings, as it represents the amount of profits that have been kept within the company rather than distributed to shareholders.
Common stock affects retained earnings by reducing them when dividends are paid out to shareholders. When a company issues dividends to common stockholders, it decreases the amount of earnings that are retained in the business. This reduction in retained earnings can impact the company's financial health and ability to reinvest in growth opportunities.

yes it is..
The sum of the par value of common stock, the capital surplus and the accumulated retained earnings.
Answer:The purchase of treasury stock does not affect retained earnings. When the company owns treasury stock, then 'treasury stock' has a debit balance. It is nevertheless presented under equity, with a negative sign.(Technically, when a T-account switches from debit to credit - or the other way around - the sign flips.)Nevertheless, a subsequent sale of treasury stock can affect retained earnings when the amount received is below the cost (a loss is made). This loss is subtracted from retained earnings if there are no cumulative gains on prior sales of treasury stock.
true. Treasury stock never affects Net Income. Treasury stock may decrease Retained earnings but it does not increase it.

When a company purchases stocks, it is shown as an investment on the Asset side of the Balance Sheet. However, if a company buys back its own stock, it is shown in the Retained Earnings section of the Balance Sheet as Treasury Stock.

which of the following describes the similarity between the retained earning, and common stock account?
You can get the Stockholders Equitys by finding out what the preffered and common stocks are at par value which is the minimum a company can issue their stocks for. Then figuring out the additional paid in capital which is the market price minus the par value for both the preffered and common stock. Once you find that, you add retained earnings. If the retained earnings is not given, then you take your net income minus dividends and treasury stock.
