At the beginning of the year (january 1), buffalo drilling has $10,000 of common stock outstanding and retained earnings of $7,500. during the year, buffalo reports net income of $7,800 and pays dividends of $2,500. in addition, buffalo issues additional common stock for $7,300. required: prepare the statement of stockholders' equity at the end of the year (december 31).

Explanation:

For preparing the statement, first we have to compute the ending balance of the common stock and the retained earning

Ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance + Additional common stock issued

= $10,000 + $7,300

= $17,300

Ending balance of the retained earnings = Beginning balance + Net income - dividend paid

= $7,500 + $7,800 - $2,500

= $12,800

So, the total stockholder equity = Ending balance of the common stock + Ending balance of the retained earnings

= $17,300 + $12,800

= $30,100

The statement of stockholder equity is shown in the spreadsheet. Kindly find the attachment below.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
