C. $80,000.

D. $194,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $110,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the total stockholders equity

First step is to calculate the Beginning equity

Beginning equity = $120,000 − $40,000

Beginning equity = $80,000.

Now let calculate the stockholders' equity

Stockholders' equity = $80,000 + $30,000

Stockholders' equity = $110,000

Therefore the total stockholders equity will be $110,000
