Answer:

$169,000 negative

Explanation:

Equity = Common stock + Additional paid in surplus

Total equity at beginning= Common stock + Additional paid in surplus

=136,000+2,610,000=$2,746,000

Total equity at end= Common stock + Additional paid in surplus

=146,000+2,910,00)=$3,056,000

Hence new equity = Total equity at End - Total equity at beginning

3,056,000-2,746,000=$310,000

Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - New equity

= 141,000-310,000

= -169,000

=$169,000 negative
