Answer:

the total stockholders' equity will be $63,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The Balance Sheet uses the Accounting Equation. Accounting Equation is stated as :

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

Also stated differently the Accounting equation will be

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Where,

Assets = $68,800

Liabilities = $5,400

Therefore,

Equity = $68,800 - $5,400

= $63,400

Conclusion

The total stockholders' equity will be $63,400
