What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021

Answer 1

$254,010

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021

Issue of stock (10,700 × $5.90) $63,130

Issue of stock (20,600 × $8.80) $181,280

Net income $95,000

Less Dividends( $53,000)

Less Treasury stock (3,000 × $10.80) ($32,400)

Total shareholders' equity $254,010

Therefore the total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021 is $254,010
