What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021

Answer 1

Answer:

The total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021 is $465,830

Explanation:

Treasury stock = Shares purchased * Purchase price

Treasury stock = 3,100 shares $12.10 per share

Treasury stock = $37,510

Shareholder′ s equity  = Equity capital + Net income - Dividend - Treasury stock

Shareholder′ s equity  = $266,320 + $107,000 + $55,000 + $37,510

Shareholder′ s equity  = $465,830

Working

Equity capital = (Shares issued × Issue Price) + (Shares issued * Issue price)

Equity capital = (9,600 * $6.70) + (20,000 * $10.10)

Equity capital = $64,320 + $202,000

Equity capital = $266,320
