Explanation:

The Common Stocks are classified as no-par common stock. This means there is no premium account recognized for this classification of stock. The stocks will be presented at their  respective value at date of issuance.

With the Preference Stock, this is different. A par value of $100 has been established. Any payment made in excess of the par value will end up in Share Premium Account.
