Kirby subscribed to purchase 100 shares of stock to be issued by Globule, Inc., an already existing corporation. Globule accepted the subscription. The price set forth in the subscription agreement was $10 per share. The par value of the stock was $8 per share. When the time came for Kirby to pay the amount of his subscription, Kirby paid only $6 per share, claiming that such amount represented the fair value of the shares. Globule delivered the stock certificates to Kirby, but demanded the other $4 per share. Is Kirby liable for the other $4 per share

Answer: C. No, but he is liable for another $2 per share.

Explanation:

A stock is not to be issued below its par value as this is the lowest price that it is to be issued at. If a par value is $4 for instance, the stock cannot be issued for anything less than this $4.

In this scenario, the par value is $8 per share which means that Globule Inc. cannot issue this share for less than $8. Kirby in paying only $6, is still liable for $2 so that he can at least pay for the stock at its par value.
