Answer: The options are given below:
A. $292,000
B. $267,250
C. $205,250
D. $275,250
The answer is D. $275,250
Explanation:
Net profit = 425,000 - 338,000 = $87,000
Common Stock =110,000 + 25,000 = $135000
Retained Earnings = 70,000 + 87,000 = $157000
Less: Dividend paid = -$16,750
We will calculate shareholders equity as follows:
Total shareholders' Equity = common stock + retained earnings - dividend paid
=> $135000 + $157000 - $16,750
= $275,250
