Given:
2,500 shares of common stock
$100,000.00 total value
Find the par value of each share.
Par value is the value written on each certificate of stock.
We get the par value by dividing the total value of the common stock by the total number of shares of common stock.
$100,000 ÷ 2500 shares = $40 per share
The par value of each share is $40.00
