Par value common stock for cash

Let's assume that a share of common stock has a par value of $0.01 and is sold to an investor for $25. The corporation issuing the stock will debit Cash for $25.00 and will credit Common Stock for $0.01 and will credit Additional Paid-in Capital for $24.99.

When stock is issued at a price higher than its par value, it is said to have been issued above par. When stock is issued above par, the cash account is debited with the total amount of cash received, capital stock account is credited with the total par value of shares issued and an account known as additional paid-in capital or capital in excess of par is credited with the difference between cash received and the par value of shares issued. The corporation’s charter determines the par value printed on the stock certificates issued. Par value may be any amount—1 cent, 10 cents, 16 cents, $ 1, $5, or $100. Low par values of $10 or less are common in our economy. Par value gives no clue as to the stock’s market value. A par stock has a minimum value per share assigned by the company that issues it. A no par stock has no designated minimum value. Neither has any relevance for the stock's value in the markets. 1.1.
