Explanation / Answer

Cash flow to stockholders

=dividend paid - net new equity

=dividend paid- [(Commonend + APISend)]- [(Common beg+APISbeg)]

=$5,00,000-[($5,80,000+3,800,000)-($5,40,000+$3,400,000)]

=5,00,000-(4,380,000-3,940,000)

=5,00,000-4,40,000

=$60,000

Cash flow to stockholders is $60,000

Note:APIS is additional paid in shares.
