JOURNAL ENTRY:
Calculation of shareholder's Equity:
Shareholder's equity = Common Shares + Retained earnings
= (32,400 + 18,200) - 11,200 = $39,400
Total effect = An increase in shareholder's Equity by $39,400
ALTERNATIVELY, if it is assumed that par value of common shares is $10, then
5,200
Overall effect on Shareholder's equity = Common Shares + Retained Earnings = (27,000 + 13,000) - 11,200 = $28,800
So the shareholder's equity increases by $28,800.
