Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The statement of stockholder's equity comprises common stock and retained earnings. The ending balance after adjustment shown in the attached spreadsheet.  

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

And, the ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + issued shares  

Before preparing the statement of stockholders’ equity we need to calculate the net income or net loss as the case may be. The computation is shown below:

Net income = Sales revenue - cost of goods sold - operating expenses

                    = $780,800 - $519,000 - $88,800

                    = $173,000
