    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
