Answer:

$290,450

Explanation:

The computation of the total shareholder equity for the year 2021 is shown below:

= Common stock issued + Net income - Dividends - Treasury stock purchased

= (10,100 shares × $6.90) + (20,800 shares × $9.30) + $109,000 - $41,000 - (3,600 shares × $11.30)

= $69,690 + $193,440 + $109,000 - $41,000 - $40,680

= $290,450

Hence, the total stockholder equity for the year 2021 is $290,450
