Explanation of Solution
Common stock: These are the ordinary shares that a corporation issues to the investors in order to raise funds. In return, the investors receive a share of profit from the profits earned by the corporation in the form of dividend.
Treasury Stock: It refers to the shares that are reacquired by the corporation that are already issued to the stockholders, but reacquisition does not signify retirement.
Par value: It refers to the value of a stock that is stated by the corporation’s charter. It is also known as face value of a stock.
Stated value: It refers to an amount per share, which is assigned by the board of directors to no par value stock.
Issue of common stock for non-cash assets or services: Corporations often issue common stock for the services received from attorneys or consultants as compensation, or for the purchase of non-cash assets such as land, buildings, or equipment.
