What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year

Answer 1

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Common stock = Assets - Liabilities - Retained earnings

Assets next year = $225,232 + $55,000 = $280,232

Liabilities remain unchanged

Retained earnings = Opening retained earnings + Net income - Dividends

= $36,493 + $44,200 - $12,000

= $68,693

Common stock next year

= $280,232 - $136,748 - $68,693

= $74,791
