b: $37,000

c: $39,000

d: $19,000

The correct answer is A that is $31,000.

Explanation:

The aggregate amount of stockholders' equity is computed as:

Stockholders' equity = Common Stock + Additional paid in capital in excess of par value + Retained Earnings - Treasury Stock

where

Common Stock = $12,000

Additional paid in capital in excess of par value = $11,000

Retained Earnings = $12,000

Treasury Stock = $4,000

Putting the values in the above formula:

= $12,000 + $11,000 + $12,000 - $4,000

= $31,000

Therefore, the amount of Stockholders' equity is $31,000.
