Note:  Answer each question completely by supporting conclusions, but do so in a clear and concise manner.  I am looking for your explanation 'in your words'; not another authors summary.  Therefore, excessive citing of material will result in a lower score.  Again, I want the summary to be your original writing.
•	Why is it important to keep paid-in capital separate from earned capital?
•	As an investor, is paid-in capital or earned capital more important? Explain why.
•	As an investor, are basic or diluted earnings per share more important? Explain why.
