Premium on capital stock is recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet as an additional paid-in capital account. When shares are issued at a price above their par value, the excess amount received is credited to this account. For example, if a company issues shares with a par value of $1 for $5, the $4 difference is recorded as "Additional Paid-In Capital" or "Premium on Capital Stock." This reflects the total amount contributed by shareholders beyond the nominal value of the shares.
