Hold on, I think the answer is B. We use the total value of shares for par preferred capital stock, not the liquidation value.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option D. Doesn't the capital stock get sold to the public for more than par or stated value?

In that case, option D seems to be the most accurate choice for the value of capital stock in the case of no-par stock.

Yes, that's correct. Capital stock can indeed be sold to the public for an amount greater than par or stated value.

I think you're right, option D makes sense because capital stock can be sold for more than par value.
