D. 9,600 NA - (8,000) 1,600 NA - NA = NA 9,600 FA

Explanation:

The journal entry for the sale of treasury stock is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $9,600

To Treasury Stock A/c $8,000

To Additional Paid in Capital A/c $1,600

(Being the sale of treasury stock is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

For cash account:

= 400 shares * $24 per share

= $9,600

For Treasury Stock Account

= 400 shares * $20 per share

= $8,000

And, for Additional Paid in Capital Account

= $9,600 - $8,000

= $1,600

For reissued shares, we debited the cash account and credited the treasury stock and Additional Paid in Capital account

It is considered as a financing activity
