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)
