Correct journal entry will be-
Cash.................................42,000
Treasury shares.............................36,000
Shares Premium treasury shares........................6,000
Explanation-
Since we are selling the shares, cash is coming in. Cash is an asset and when it comes in, it is debited. Therefore, cash will be debited by 3000 x $14 = 42,000
The shares were purchased at $12 per share. Therefore, treasury shares will be credited by 3000 x $12 = 36,000
Remaining difference, 42000 - 36000 = 6000 will be credited by name of shares premium.
