Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the stockholder equity section of the balance sheet is shown below:

Common stock ($1 × 1,200,000 shares)          $1,200,000

Add: Additional paid in capital                          $20,000,000

Add: Retained earnings                                      $15,000,000

Less: Treasury stock                                           $1,600,000

Stockholder equity                                           $34,600,000

We simply added the all items except the treasury stock as it should be deducted
