Roberto designers

20,000 shares at $7 = $140,000

Add:40,000 shares at $8 = $320,000

Less: 4,000 shares at $10 = $40,000

Total common stock holdings = 56,000 shares at $5 = $280,000

Premium on shares Account = $140,000

Total shareholders account $420,000

Add closing retained earnings $100,000

Total stockholders equity end of 2021 = $520,000

Retained earnings calculation:

Net income $200,000

Less Dividend $100,000

Closing retained earnings $100,000
