Stahl Consulting started the year with total assets of $20,000 and total liabilities of $5,000. During the year, the business recorded $16,000 in catering revenues and $10,000 in expenses. Stahl issued stock of $3,000 and paid dividends of $5,000 during the year.

Stockholders' equity changed by what amount from the beginning of the year to the end of the year?

Select one:

A. $3,000.

B. $1,000.

C. $15,000.

D. $4,000.

The correct answer is option (d).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Beginning equity = Total asset - total liabilities

= $20,000 - $5,000 = $15,000

Ending equity = Beginning equity + Revenues - Expenses + Issued stock - Dividend paid

= $15,000 + $16,000 - $10,000 + $3,000 - $5,000

= $19,000

So, the change in equity can be calculated as:

Change in equity = Ending equity - Beginning equity

= $19,000 - $15,000

=$4,000

the correct answer would be b, when, queen, calder hall and london.

explanation:

we always capitalize words when a paragraph or sentence is starting, when an important name is used, when a place is being written, or simply when a noun is used, etc. so in this sentence, sentence is starting from 'when', so it will be written in capital letters. secondly, queen is considered to be an important person, so it will also be written in capital letter. next, the name of the town is mentioned, i-e calder hall, which will also be written in capital letters. in the last,   city name is being used, 'london', which will also be written in capital letters. so option b is the most appropriate one.
