During the year ended December 31, 2019, the company reported net income of $21,700, declared and paid a cash dividend of $5700, declared and distributed a 10% stock dividend with a $6700 total market value, and issued additional common stock for $33,000. What is total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2019

Answer 1

$212,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Stockholders' equity = December 31, 2018 stockholders'equity + 2019 net income - 2019 cash dividend declarations + 2019 common stock issue

Stockholders' equity = $163,000 + $21,700 - $5,700 + $33,000

Stockholders' equity = $212,000

So, the total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2019 is $212,000
