Question

Where does the 32 come from in cash received for common stock issued

Answer 1

A public company can issue common stock to the shareholders of acquisition targets, which they can then sell for cash. This approach is also possible for private companies, but the recipients of those shares will have a much more difficult time selling their shares.

Multiply the number of shares issued by the price per share. Doing this calculation gives you the amount of cash raised by the sale of the stock. For example, if the company issues 100 shares at $10 per share, the result is $1,000 of additional capital raised from stock issuances.
