Respuesta :

Answer:

                                                                                   $

Issued common stock (87,000 x $14)            = 1,218,000

Common stock repurchased (24,000 x $17) = 408,000  

Total stockholders' equity                                 810,000                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Explanation:

Total stockholder's equity is the par value of issued common stock minus the par value of common stock repurchased.
