    D. It decreased by $57,000.

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Cash increased = $40,000

    Total liabilities increased = $32,000

    Other asset decreased = $65,000

    We know that

    Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

    where,

    Total assets = - $65,000 + $40,000

    = - $25,000

    So,

    -$25,000 = $32,000 + stockholder equity

    So, the stockholder equity would be

    = - $25,000 - $32,000

    = - $57,000
