Required: Prepare the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet at December 31. #### Homework Answers Answer #1 Stockholder’s Equity Stockholder equity refers to the portion of the balance sheet which involves the capital ascertained from the public by issuing them stocks. It also depicts the equity stake on the books currently held by the equity investor of the firm. Thus, the value of the Stockholder’s equity is ascertained by subtracting total liabilities from the total assets. Therefore, computation of the Stockholder’s equity section of the balance sheet for the year-end December 31 is shown below:  Stockholders’ Equity—December 31 Contributed Capital Amount Preferred Stock$110,000 Add: Preferred shares, Additional Capital $66,000 Common Stock$43,000 Add: Common shares, Additional Capital $617,000 Total capital contributed$836,000 Add: Retained Earnings $48,000 Total Stockholder equity$884,000

Hence, it is ascertained that the total stockholder equity accounts for $$\ 884,000$$

Preferred stock

Issued preferred stocks are 11,000 at $$\ 16$$ per share. The par value of the share is $$\ 10$$. The value of outstanding shares is $$\ 110,000(11,000 \times \ 10)$$. The Additional paid in capital of preferred stock are $$\ 66,000$$ is as follows:

\begin{aligned} \text { Additional paid in capital } &=[(\ 16-\ 10 \text { par }) \times 10,000]+[(\ 16-\ 10 \text { par }) \times 1,000] \\ &=(\ 6 \times 10,000)+(\ 6 \times 1,000) \\ &=\ 66,000 \end{aligned}

Common stock

Issued Common stocks are 43,000 at $$\ 15$$ and $$\ 20$$ per share. The par value of the share is $$\ 1$$.

The value of outstanding shares accounts for $$\ 43,000(43,000 \times \ 1)$$. Therefore the computation of the additional paid in capital of common stock are $$\ 617,000$$ is shown below:

\begin{aligned} \text { Additional paid in capital } &=[(\ 15-\ 1 \text { par }) \times 40,000]+[(\ 20-\ 1 \text { par }) \times 3,000] \\ &=(\ 14 \times 40,000)+(\ 19 \times 3,000) \\ &=\ 617,000 \end{aligned}
