What is Par Value?

Stocks are issues in some states at par value which means that the company sets a minimum price that they can sell stocks at in their articles of incorporation.

Par value is similar to the face value of a bond and, often, companies will sell stocks for more than par value.

First, we need to determine what portion of the cash is at par value first:

= 3,300 x $5

= $16,500

Now, we find what is sold above par:

= $37,400 - $16,500

= $20,900

Finally, we prepare the journal entry:

Account                           Debit                      Credit

Cash                                  $37,400

       Additional Paid-In Capital                         $20,900

       Common Stock - $5 Par                          $16,500
