Stahl Consulting started the year with total assets of $60,000 and total liabilities of $15,000. During the year, the business recorded $48,000 in catering revenues and $30,000 in expenses. Stahl issued stock of $9,000 and paid dividends of $15,000 during the year. The stockholders' equity at the end of the year was

$57,000

Explanation:

We know because of the accounting equation that assets are equal to liabilities + stockholders equity, therefore, stockholders equity are equal to $45,000 if assets are $60,000 and liabilities are $15,000.

If revenues were $48,000 and expenses were $30,000, the difference $18,000 is added to the stockholders' equity value, which is now equal to $63,000 ($45,000 + $18,000).

We then add the $9,000 worth of shares that were issued, and now we have a stockholder's equity value of $72,000.

Finally, we substract the $15,000 of dividends paid to reach the final figure of $57,000 ($72,000 - $15,000).
