What was shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2018?

Answer 1

Answer: $9,182,000

Explanation: This question can be done as follows :-

Total shareholders equity = paid in capitals + other paid in capitals + retained earnings - treasury stock

Putting the values into equation we get :-

Total shareholders = $32,000 + $5,200,000 + $4,200,000 - $250,000

equity

= $9,182,000
