What is total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2019

Answer 1

Answer:

$212,000

Stockholders' equity  = December 31, 2018 stockholders'equity + 2019 net income - 2019 cash dividend declarations + 2019 common stock issue

Stockholders' equity = $163,000 + $21,700 - $5,700 + $33,000

Stockholders' equity = $212,000

So, the total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2019 is $212,000
