Respuesta :

Answer:

Techstar, Inc.’s total stockholders’ equity is $175,000

Explanation:

Total equity is the total value of all paid-in-capital balance and accumulated earning and any other reserves. Stocks are issued on a price which includes the price at par value and price over par value, both of these are recorded separately.

Number of shares issued = 15,000 shares

Issuance Price = $5

Par value = $1

Equity Section of Balance sheet

Paid-In-Capital at par ($1 x 15000)                        $15,000

Paid-In-Capital excess of par (($5-$1) x 15,000)   $60,000

Retained earning                                                    $100,000

Total Stockholder's Equity                                     $175,000
