C) $456,000

Explanation:

8,000 x 40 per share = 320,000 (A)

Net income 200,000

Dividends 8,000 x 8 = (64,000) (B)

Total stockholders' equity 456,000

(A) On the equity section, the stock issued will be at issued value, which is 40 per share.

(B) The dividends decrease the retained earnings, which is an equity account, therefore, it derease the stockholders' equity
