Passage 1 (30 points)
Equity securities are known as shares (or stock) in a corporation. Stockholders are considered
owners of the corporation. The Articles of Incorporation must state the number of shares and the
characteristics of the stock. To issue stock is actually to offer shares of stock for sale. The
corporation's Board of Directors controls when and to whom the corporation's shares are offered
and sold.
Outstanding shares－Outstanding shares are shares already issued and purchased by the
shareholder or stockholder.
Par value－Par value is an arbitrary value assigned to each share in the Articles of
Incorporation but does not necessarily reflect the true market value of the stock. Shares may not be
issued and sold by the corporation for less than their par value therefore it is sometimes advisable
not to state any par value at all or state a par value lower than the estimated market price. No par
value allows the Board of Directors to decide each time shares are issued what the price per share
will be. In a very large corporation where the stock is publicly traded at a public exchange, such as
the New York Stock Exchange, the public demand for the stock of the corporation rather than the
Board of Directors determines the selling price of the stock.
Capital account －The capital account of a corporation is an entry in the books of the
corporation and is determined by multiplying the par or stated value of the corporation's stock by
the number of shares outstanding. For example, if the corporation had sold 1000 shares of stock
which had $10 par value, the capital accountwould be $10,000.
Passage 2 (30 points)
The October leaves have fallen on the lake. On bright, calm days they lie in thousands on the
now darkening water, mostly yellow flotillas of poplar, floating continuously down from great trees
that themselves shake in the windless air with the sound of falling water, but on rainy days or after
rain they seem to swim or be driven away, and nothing remains to break the surface except the last
of the olive-yellow lily pads that in high summer covered every inch of water like plates of emerald
porcelain. The lilies have gone too, the yellow small-headed kind that in bud are like swimming
snakes, and the great reeds are going, woven by wind and frost into untidy basket islands under
which coot and moorhen skid for cover at the sound of strangers.
All summer, in this world of water--lilies, the coot and moorhen lived a bewildered life. There
was no place where they could swim, and all day they could be seen walking daintily, heads
slightly aside and slightly down, across the lily-hidden water, as bemused by the world of leaves as
they had been in winter by the world of ice. In the clearer water they are more active. The lake is
long and unbroken except for two small islands. The birds, as the fit takes them, dash madly up and
down it, taking off and touching down like small fussy black sea-planes. Beside them the arrival of
the wild duck, at much higher speed, is almost majestic, They plane down, the necks of the drakes
shining like royal green satin, with the air of squadrons coming in after long flights from home.
