Explanation / Answer

Cash flow to stockholders is the amount of cash that a company pays out to its shareholders.

Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends - (Ending common stock and additional paid-in surplus - Begining common stock and additional paid-in surplus )

= 680,000 - ((885,000+7,900,000)-(810,000+6,600,000)

= 680,000-(8,785,000 - 7,410,000)

= 680,000 - 1375,000

=-695,000
