Answer 1

Answer:

Ending stockholders' equity $ 68.000

Explanation:

The net income for the year is Revenue - Expenses

so $ 113,000 - $34,000     =   Net Income $ 79,000

Stockholders Equity at end of year

Opening stockholders' equity                 $  52,000

Add: Net income for the year                  $  79,000

Less: Dividends Paid                                $ (63,000)

Ending stockholders' equity                    $  68,000
