The stakeholders' equity is $5,000

Explanation:

The stakeholders' equity is the total asset available to shareholders after all liabilities and debts have been paid off.

The formula for calculating stakeholders' equity is given as:

Stakeholders' equity = Total assets - Total liabilities

To calculate this, we have to group the transactions into assets and liabilities:

Assets:

Revenues = $60,000 (Total assets)

Liabilities:

Expenses = $33,000

Dividends paid = $22,000

Total Liabilities = $55,000

Therefore:

Stakeholders' equity = 60,000 - 55,000 = $5,000
