What is total stockholders' equity at the end of 2018?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total stockholder's equity at the end of the year will be $352,000.

Explanation:

The issue of common stock at $7/share= 14,000*$7=$98,000

The issue of common stock at $8/share= 28,000*$8=$224,000

The net income is $140,000.

The dividends paid= $70,000.

Purchase of treasury stock= 4000*$10=$40,000

The total stockholder's equity

=The issue of common stock at $7/share+The issue of common stock at $8/share+The net income-The dividends paid-Purchase of treasury stock

=$98,000+$224,000+$140,000- $70,000-$40,000

=$352,000.
