What is the par value of each share if the hamiliton brush company issued 2500 shares of common stock worth 100000.00?
Par value has no real connection to the worth of common stock. For example, when Starbucks went public, its shares of stock was $0.001 par, but opened at $17 and closed in the same day at $21.50; so if there were 2,500 shares sold at opening, it worth 2,500 x $17 = $42,500, but this has no connection to par value. Assuming the 2,500 shares of common stock sold at par value and the earnings was $100,000.00; the par value would be $100,000 / 2,500 = $40.00
What is water sharing?
Shares of stock that are issued at a value in excess of a company's actual assets are known as watered stock. The term arose many decades ago when a par value was assigned to shares of stock by the board of directors. The par value was correlated by many investors to the actual asset value per share of a company since companies could not sell additional stock below the stated or par value. Dishonest stock promoters would deceptively assign a high par value in order to sell overvalued or watered shares to investors. Due to investor confusion and misuse by shady stock issuers legislation was passed to allow stock to be issued at no par value. Once used as a metric of stock valuation, the term par value has little meaning for present day investors.
