    and the Additional paid-in capital account $2400,000.

    Outstanding shares are those share which are issued and held by the stockholders.

    Number shares outstanding = 600,000

    Par value = $3

    Book value of

    Common stock at par = Number of outstanding share x par value = 600,000 x $3 = $1,800,000
