    You cannot compute for the capital in excess of par since you don’t have the number of shares but let us assume there are 100,000 shares.

    If the Company sell 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 per share, and the par value of each share is $5, then the amount of the capital in excess of par is 100,000 shares x $3/share, = 300,000 and is recorded:

    Cash 500,000

    Common stock ($2 x 100000) 200000

    Additional Paid-In Capital ($3 x 100000) 300000
