The price per share is the amount the individual receiving the shares must pay the corporation for each share they receive. 

How to determine a price per share?

The price per share should reflect the fair market value of the shares in conjunction with the value of the company. This can be done through a formal business valuation or an inferred valuation. 

In some cases, the price can be set based on a recent event - like another share issuance. Also, if your company has a shareholder agreement, this should be reviewed, as it may contain information on how to calculate the price of shares.
