Answer:

The amount of the net new equity raised during the year is $34,000.

Explanation:

Net new equity = total equity - common stock - paid-in surplus - (retained earnings + net income - paid dividends)

= $142,430 - $55,000 - $11,200 - ($48,420 + $26,310 -   $32,500)

= $34,000

Therefore, the amount of the net new equity raised during the year is $34,000.
