A business enterprise originally set up and operated as a sole proprietorship or a partnership may incorporate, for reasons such as: (a) to raise additional capital; (b) to take advantage of the limited liability of corporate stockholders; (c) to acquire better management expertise; and others. As the donated shares are sold, the proceeds are credited to a paid-in capital account, donated capital, which is shown in the income statement. A Corporation may also reacquire some of its own outstanding stock by way of donation from the stockholders. The shares of stock received are called donated treasury stocks.
