Answer:

B)$550,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Equity will be composed for the sum of common stock and Retained Earnings

We will calcualte the Retained Earnings after closing the temporary accounts:

revenue 700,000

expenses (625,000)

net income 75,000

dividends: 50,000

Adjusted RE

beginning + net income - dividends = ending

375,000 + 75,000 - 50,000 = 400,000

Common Stock 150,000

Retained Earnings 400,000

Total SE 550,000
