B. $65,000

Explanation:

For computing the additional paid-in-capital, first we have to calculate the net proceeds of the stock which is shown below:

= Cash amount - sale value

= $110,000 - $40,000

= $70,000

Now the total par value is $5,000 (1,000 shares * $5)

So, the additional paid up capital equals to

= Net proceeds - Total par value

= $70,000 - $5,000

= $65,000
