Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity is presented below:

                                                Ollie Company

                      Statement of changes in stockholders' equity

Beginning common stock $0

Add: Common stock issuance $72,000

Ending common stock $72,000

Beginning retained earning $0

Add: Net income $16,000      ($59,000 - $43,000)

Less: cash Dividend paid -$7,000

Ending retained earning $9,000

Total stockholder equity $81,000 ($72,000 + $9,000)
