Answer:

c. $320,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total shareholders' equity is shown below:

Issued amount $140,000   (20,000 shares × $7)

Issued amount $160,000 (20,000 shares × $8)

Add: Reported Net income $100,000

Less : Dividend paid  - $50,000

Less: Treasury stock - $30,000 (3,000 shares × $10)

Total shareholder equity   $320,000

We deduct the dividend and the treasury stock and rest of the items are added
