    Common Stock is the Price of the par value of the stock X number of shares sold.

    Additional Paid-in Capital is the difference between the Amount of cash received from the sale of stock and the par value of the stock sold.

    For example you sell 100 shares of stock for $20. The par value is $5 per share.

    Cash will be debited $2,000
    Common Stock will be Credited $500
    Additional Paid-in Capital will be credited $1,500
