The 2010 balance sheet of Maria’s Tennis Shop, Inc., showed $470,000 in the common stock account and $4.5 million in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2011 balance sheet showed $510,000 and $4.8 million in the same two accounts, respectively.

Explanation / Answer

Cashflow to shareholders = cash dividend paid - increase in common stock - increase in additional paid-in surplus

= $420,000 - ($510,000 - $470,000) - ($4,800,000 - $4,500,000)

= $80,000
