Explanation:

Sept. 5 Directors declared a $2 per share cash dividend payable on October 28 to the September 25 stockholders of record

Jan 1st: The treasury stock are recorded at cost

Jan 5th

40,000 - 4,000 = 36,000 shares outstanding

                          x 2 dividend per share

dividends             72,000

Feb 28th we write-off the payable and decrease cash

July 6th

proceeds 1,500 x $24 = 36,000

cost          1,500 x $20 = 30,000  

additional paid-in              6,000

August 22

proceeds 2,500 x $17 =  42,500

cost          2,500 x $20 = 50,000  

"loss"                                  (7,500)

we cannot declare loss when selling own share, we first decrease the additional paid-in treasury stock and if needed like in this case; we decrease retained earings

Sep 5th

there are 40,000 outstanding  x $2 = 80,000

Oct 28th we write-off the payable and decrease cash
