    The price of the common stock when it was first issued was $19 per share

    Explanation:

    Price at which the stock is issued is consists of Par value and add-in-capital in excess value. It is recorded in different accounts and reported as separately on the balance sheet.

    Common Stock at par value of $12 = $2,280,000

    Number of outstanding shares = 2,280,000 / 12 = 190,000 shares

    Paid-in-Capital in Excess = $1,330,000 / 190,000 = $7 per share

    As we know

    Price of share = Par value + Paid in capital in excess

    Price of share = $12 + $7 = $19 per share
