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.

Preferred stock: The stock that provides a fixed amount of return (dividend) to its stockholder before paying dividends to common stockholders is referred as preferred stock.

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.

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.

Journalize the issuance of the stock in exchange for land and a building on May 11.
