Question

Stockholders’ equity totaled $94,000 at the beginning of the year. During the year, net income was $24,000, dividends of $9,000 were declared and paid, and $22,000 of common stock was issued at par value. Calculate total stockholders' equity at the end of the year.

Answer 1

$131,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Stockholders’ equity at the beginning = $94,000

net income = $24,000

Dividends paid = $9,000

Common stock issued = $22,000

Stockholders' equity at the end:

= Stockholders Equity at the beginning + Net Income - Dividend + Common stock issued

= $94,000 + $24,000 - $9,000 + $22,000

= $131,000

Therefore, the total stockholders' equity at the end of the year is $131,000.
