Answer 1

$159,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the ending stockholder equity at the current year is given below:

As we know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

Now both are increased by some amount, so the ending stockholder equity at the current year is

= ($870,000 + $59,000) - ($745,000 + $24,500)

= ($929,000) - ($769,500)

= $159,500
