Assets (cash) and stockholders' equity (common stock) increase by $153,000 (or 9,000 shares × $17 per share). The cash inflow of $153,000 is reported in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. The price an investor must pay to purchase a share of stock is the market value. Published financial statements report historical information, in this case, the company's paid-in capital is recorded at the issue price of $17 per share.
