What does "additions to paid-in capital" refer to?

Corporate taxes borrowed from tax authorities
Investments from personal accounts, stocks, or other nonbusiness generated resources
Profits retained in the business
Revenue generated from sales

The correct answer is: Investments from personal accounts, stocks, or other nonbusiness generated resources

"Additions to paid-in capital" specifically refers to the investments made into a company by its owners or shareholders that are in addition to the par value of the stock. This can occur through direct investments from personal accounts, where owners inject funds into the business beyond just the initial capital contributions. This effectively increases the total equity of the company without reflecting any profits generated from operations. The other options do not accurately describe additions to paid-in capital. Corporate taxes borrowed from tax authorities do not represent capital contributions but are obligations the corporation must fulfill. Profits retained in the business, often referred to as retained earnings, are derived from the company's profits and represent income that has not been distributed to shareholders, rather than capital invested. Revenue generated from sales pertains to the income received from selling goods or services, which, while it contributes to overall financial health, does not directly relate to paid-in capital.
