FLOWER BOND is a U.S. Treasury bond, issued in the 1950s and 1960s, that may be tendered at par value for payment of federal estate taxes, even though its market price may be substantially less.

PREMIUM ON CAPITAL STOCK is excess received over the par value of stock issued. The premium account is shown under the paid-in capital section of stockholders equity because it resulted from the issuance of stock. It is not an income statement account since the company earns profit by selling goods and services to outsiders, not by issuing shares of stock to owners.
