    Option B: $393,000

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    The computation of the total stock holder equity at the end of 2021 is shown below:

    Common stock (10,000 * $3 + 40,000 * $3) $150,000

    Add: Paid-in capital in excess of par (10,000 * ($7 - $3) + 40,000 * ($8-$3) $200,000

    Add: retained earning $70,000 ($110,000 - $40,000)

    Less: Treasury stock ($3,000 * 9) $27,000

    Stockholder's equity $393,000
