Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula

Shareholders' equity = Common stock + Retained earnings - Dividends

Step2: Identify the values

Common stock = 68300, Retained earnings = 11100, Dividends = 3300

Step3: Calculate

Shareholders' equity = 68300 + 11100 - 3300 = 76100

However, there seems to be an error as 76100 is not among the options. Assuming no - dividends impact for this basic calculation of equity from given components (if dividends are not to be deducted in this context), Shareholders' equity = Common stock+Retained earnings.

Step4: Revised calculation

Shareholders' equity = 68300 + 11100=79400

Answer:

$79,400$ (last option)
