Danielle Cross · Answer 1

Original price per share - $14

Explanation:

Information:

Common stock value = $140,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par on common stock = $19,460,000 Number of shares issued = 1,400,000 shares

Original issue price = (Common stock value + Paid-in capital in excess of par on common stock) / Number of shares issued

Original issue price = (140,000+19,460,000) / 1,400,000

Original issue price = $14 / share
