Paid-in capital in excess of par?

Par Value or Stated Value is essentially the "Face Value" or the initial offering price of a share of stock (whether for a public or privately held company). Paid-in capital is anything the company receives from stockholders for the sale of stock above and beyond the par value, i.e. in excess of Par.This excess received from stockholders over par-valueor stated-valueof the stock issued is also called contributed capital in excess of par.For example, if 1000 shares of $10 par value common stock is issued by the company at a price of $12 per share, the additional paid-in capital is $2000 (1000 shares x $2). Additional paid-in capital is NOT an asset or a liability to the company, it is shown in the stockholder-s-equitysection of the balance sheet. (Assets = Liabilities + Equity)

How is the stockholders' equity section of a corporate balance sheet different from that in a single-owner business?

Stockholders' equity is to a corporation what owner's equity is to a sole proprietorship. Owners of a corporation are called stockholders (or shareholders), because they own (or hold) shares of the company's stock. Stock certificates are paper evidence of ownership in a corporation. For sole proprietorship stocks usually are not issued. Examples of stockholders' equity accounts include: - Common Stock - Preferred Stock - Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value - Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock - Retained Earnings - Etc. Both owner's equity and stockholders' equity accounts will normally have CREDIT balances. How stockholders' equity is reflected in the balance sheet? The stockholders' equity section of a corporation's balance sheet is: - Paid-in Capital - Retained Earnings - Treasury Stock The stockholders' equity section of a corporation's balance sheet is: STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Paid-in Capital ..Preferred Stock ..Common Stock ..Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value - Preferred Stock ..Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value - Common Stock ..Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock Retained Earnings Less: Treasury Stock ..TOTAL STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Total amount of contributed capital?

This is what I found on internet. Payments made in cash or property to a corporation by its stockholders either to buy capital stock, to pay an assessment on the capital stock, or as a gift. Also called paid-in capital. The contributed or paid-in capital of a corporation is made up of capital stock and capital (or contributed) surplus, which is contributed (or paid-in) capital in excess of http://www.answers.com/topic/par value or http://www.answers.com/topic/stated-value. Donated capital and http://www.answers.com/topic/donated-surplus are freely given forms of contributed (paid-in) capital, but http://www.answers.com/topic/donated-stock refers to fully paid (previously issued) capital stock that is given as a gift to the issuing corporation.
