    The aggregate liabilities amounts to $40,337 for the next year

    Explanation:

    In order to compute the total liabilities, using the formula as:

    Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders equity

    where

    Shareholders equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

    Retained Earnings = Old Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividends

    Liabilities = Assets - Common stock - Retained Earnings

    = $151,000 - $54,527 - $46,136 - ($20,000 - $10,000)

    = $151,000 - $54,527 - $46,136 - $10,000

    = $40,337
