Answer:

$32,000

Explanation:

Given that,                                                        

Asset = $114,000

Liabilities = $82,000

Stockholders' equity at the beginning of the year:

= Asset - Liabilities

= $114,000 - $82,000                    

= $32,000

During the year:

Assets increased by $14,800

Liabilities decreased by $10,400

New assets = $114,000 + $14,800

                   = $128,800

New Liability = $82,000 - $10,400

                      = $92,400

New Stockholders' equity:

= New Asset - New Liabilities

= $128,800 - $92,400                    

= $36,400
