Which one of the following selections is a not component of Paid-in Capital? Select one: A. Retained earnings B. Common stock C. Additional paid-In capital D. All of the above

The correct answer is letter "A": Retained earnings.

Explanation:

Paid-in capital is listed on the Balance Sheet's Equity section. It represents the amount of money shareholders paid into the company by buying stocks. It is essentially two accounts: the par value of the stock and the excess over par. The amount of paid-in capital helps prospective investors and lenders to make decisions.

Retained earnings -the earnings a company keeps instead of redistributing it to investors- is not considered to compute the paid-in capital.
