    By $100 Lem's additional paid-in capital from common stock decrease as a result of the acquisition

    Explanation:

    The computation of the decrease in the common stock is shown below:

    = (Number of shares * issue price per share) - (Number of shares * par value per share)

    = (100 shares * $7) - (100 shares * $6)

    = $700 - $600

    = $100

    As the additional share capital is a difference between the issued price and the par value and the same amount is decreased
