as possible without giving up control of the business. Smith and Jones plan to receive 50,000
common shares of the corporation in return for the net assets of their old business. After the old
company's books are closed and the assets adjusted to current fair value, Smith's and Jones's
capital balances will each be $25,000.The company's incorporation plans include an
authorization to issue 10,000 preferred shares and 500,000 common shares. Smith and Jones
