Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The owners' claims to the assets of a corporation are called shareholders' equity or stockholders' equity. There are two parts to shareholders' equity: contributed capital and retained earnings. Contributed capital, or paid-in capital, is the amount owners have invested in the corporation. Paid-in capital is further divided into capital stock and additional paid-in capital. Stock can be either preferred stock or common stock. Owners of preferred stock receive preference rights on the distribution of dividends; however, they have no voting rights. Owners of common stock have the right to participate in the distribution of dividends and the right to vote for members of the board of directors. Additional paid-in capital represents the difference between the par value of the corporation's stock and the market price at which the stock was issued. Treasury stock is corporate stock that has been issued and later repurchased by the corporation. Retained earnings represent the total net income minus dividends since the day the corporation began.
