Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contributed capital refers to the funds received by a company from investors in exchange for ownership shares. Common stock, additional paid-in capital, and preferred stock are all forms of contributed capital, while retained earnings are not. Retained earnings are the portion of a company's profits that are kept by the company instead of being distributed to shareholders as dividends.
