Answer:
$7,200,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Common stock = $5,400,000
Retained earnings = $2,000,000
Unrealized gains on trading securities = $100,000
Unrealized losses on available for sale securities = $200,000
Stockholder's equity:
= Common stock + Retained earnings - Unrealized losses on available for sale securities
= $5,400,000 + $2,000,000 - $200,000
= $7,200,000
Note that:
Unrealized gains on trading securities should be presented on the income statement. Hence, the ending retained earnings balance was already been adjusted with Unrealized gains (losses) on trading securities.
Unrealized losses on available for sale securities not included in the income statement and it directly goes to the balance sheet.
