Tax rates are 15% for the first $50,000; 25% on the next 25,000; 34% on the next $25,000 and 39% on the excess over $100,000. Prepare the adjusting entry for income taxes.

When treasury stock is purchased, the Treasury Stock account is debited for the entire amount paid for the stock, regardless of the stock's par or stated value.
