Explanation:

The computation of the total stockholder equity as on Dec 31, 2019 is shown below:

= Total stockholder equity balance reported + net income - cash dividend paid + additional common stock issued - purchased of treasury stock + sale of treasury stock

= $546,000 + $60,600 - $18,600 + $76,000 - $12,600 + $15,600
