    a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2017: $298,000

    b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2018: $197,000

    Explanation:

    Basing on accounting equation:

    Total asset = Liabilities + Owner's (or Stockholders') Equity

    Stockholders' Equity = Total asset - Liabilities

    a. On December 31, 2017, Be-The-One has assets of $395,000 and liabilities of $97,000.

    Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2017 = $395,000 - $97,000 = $298,000

    b. On December 31, 2018

    Total asset = $395,000 - $65,000 = $330,000

    Liabilities = $97,000 + $36,000 = $133,000

    Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2018 = $330,000 - $133,000 = $197,000
