Journalize Common and Preferred Stock Transactions
When most businesses are first organized or established, they include what is called Articles of Incorporation which are filed with the Secretary of State of the state in which the business is incorporated. These Articles specify the capital structure of the corporation, including preferred stock and how many shares of preferred stock may be issued and the par value of each share of preferred stock. These Articles also specify the number of common shares which the corporation may issue, and either the par value, no-par value, or the stated value per share of common stock.
