The stockholders' equity of a company represents the amount of money that will be returned to the accionists if all the assests will be liquidated and the compan'y debt will be paid. So to calculate the Swifty Corporation stockholders' equity at the end of the year you need to add all what enters to the company (assets and revenues) and substract all what goes out (liabilities, expenses and dividends).
- What enters?
The starting assets = $300.000
Revenues = $633.000
Total incomes = $300.000 + $633.000 = $933.000
- What goes out?
Liabilities = $240.000
Expenses = $335.000
Dividends = $ 61.000
Total expenses = $240.000 + $335.000 + $61.000 = $636.000
Stockholders' equity = Total income - Total expenses
