    Stockholder Equity = $1,414,400

    Explanation:

    Stockholder Equity is the owners contribution to a business and it is made up of retained earnings and stock.

    Stockholder Equity = Common stock + Retained Earnings

    Let's track changes in common stock

    Common stock = Starting balance + New stocks issued

    Common stock = 608,000 + 22,500

    Common stock = $630,500

    Changes in retained earnings

    Retained earnings = Starting balance + Income earned - Dividend paid out

    Retained earnings = 705,000 + 93,000 - 14,100

    Retained earnings = $783,900

    Therefore

    Stockholder Equity = 630,500 + 783,900

    Stockholder Equity = $1,414,400
