Capital Stock

Capital stock is the money which a corporation regards as necessary for doing the business for which it has been organized: and which by its charter it is permitted to raise by subscription, divided into shares. Capital stock may be with par value or may have no par value.  Where stock is with par value, the certificate of incorporation will express the authorized capital stock as the total sum of such par value.  Issued; authorized capital stock is the stock which, by its charter, the corporation is authorized to issue.  The statutes of some states prescribe limitations on the amount of capital stock that may be issued
