Answer: $11,985
Step-by-step explanation:
The credit to the Additional paid-in capital is the excess over the pa value of the stock that was sold. The formula is therefore:
Additional paid-in capital = Cash stock was sold for - Par value of stock
Par value of stock = 30 shares * 0.50
= $15.00
Additional paid-in capital = 12,000 - 15
= $11,985
