Stock issued

Balance, Dec 31 360,400 248,270 608,670

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calcualte the net income:

sales revenue 777, 100

cost of goods sold (520,000)

operating expenses (89,200)

Net Income 167,900

This will go into retained earnings

Dividends will also impact on retained earnings

Unrealized holding loss on available-for-sale debt securities for 2020 of $53,700.

This will modify the other comprehensive income.

The rest, will be post the beginning balance and include this variation.
