Answer 1

d. $275,250

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the balance of stockholder equity is shown below:

Stockholder equity = Common stock + retained earnings

Where,

Common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + additional stock purchased

= $110,000 + $25,000

= $135,000

And, the retained earnings is

= Beginning balance retained earning + revenues earned - expenses incurred - dividend paid

= $70,000 + $425,000 - $338,000 - $16,750

= $140,250

So, the ending balance of stockholder equity is

= $135,000 + $140,250

= $275,250
