During 2021, Roberto had the following transactions relating to shareholders' equity: Issued 10,100 shares of common stock at $6.90 per share. Issued 20,800 shares of common stock at $9.30 per share. Reported a net income of $109,000. Paid dividends of $41,000. Purchased 3,600 shares of treasury stock at $11.30 (part of the 20,800 shares issued at $9.30). What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021

Answer 1

$290,450

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total shareholder equity for the year 2021 is shown below:

= Common stock issued + Net income - Dividends - Treasury stock purchased

= (10,100 shares × $6.90) + (20,800 shares × $9.30) + $109,000 - $41,000 - (3,600 shares × $11.30)

= $69,690 + $193,440 + $109,000 - $41,000 - $40,680

= $290,450

Hence, the total stockholder equity for the year 2021 is $290,450
