The common stock next year would be $32546

The total assets (current) = $167,705

Total assets (next year) = $167,705 + $55,000 = $222705

The total liabilities (current)= $69,461

The total liabilities (next year)= $69,461

The total retained earnings (current) = $88,498

The total retained earnings (next year) = $88,498 + 44,200 - $12000 = $120698

<u>Common stock (current)</u>

= $167,705 - $69,461-$88,498

= $9746

<u>Common stock (next year)</u>

= $222705 - $69,461 - $120698

= $32546

The common stock next year would be $32546
