Answer:

$276,500

Explanation:

The computation of the total equity is shown below;

Accounting equation is

Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity

where,

Total assets is

= Cash + land + buildings

= $72,000 + $208,600  + $126,500

= $407,100

And, the total liabilities is $131,500

So, the total stockholder equity is

= $407,100 - $131,500

= $276,500

We simply applied the above formula
