The stockholders' equity at the end of the year is $210,000

Explanation:

The computation of the ending stockholder equity is shown below

= Opening balance of equity + issued shares + retained earnings

where,

Opening balance of equity = Total assets - total liabilities

= $200,000 - $160,000

= $40,000

The issued shares is $10,000

And, the retained earning = Revenue - expenses - dividend

= $420,000 - $220,000 - $40,000

= $160,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $40,000 + $10,000 + $160,000

= $210,000
