Explanation:

We debit cash and credit the equity account, common stok at par value and additional paid in for hte difference

For the purchase of treasury stock is done at cost, we credit the cash disbursement.

For the third as we are selling for a lesser amount we are "lossing" but as the accouting do not allow to record gain/loss on the trade of own stock we use additional paid in when positive and we decrease retained earnings when negative.
