$\begin{array}{c}\mathbf{PaidinCapitalinExcessofPar}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{\left(}\begin{array}{c}\mathbf{PaidinCapitalinExcessofParof}\mathbf{550}\mathbf{Shares}\\ \mathbf{+}\mathbf{PaidinCapitalinExcessofParof}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{500}\mathbf{Shares}\end{array}\mathbf{\right)}\\ =\$15,950+\$15,500\\ =\$31,450\end{array}$
