**How does par value and additional paid-in capital work?**<\/p>\n

Par Value:
\nPar value represents the nominal value assigned to each share of stock when it is initially issued by a company. It is often a small amount, such as $0.01 or $0.10 per share, and it is useful for legal and accounting purposes. Par value has no direct impact on the market price of a stock.<\/p>\n

Additional Paid-in Capital:
