    A $34,850.

    B $163,350.

    C $128,500.

    D $188,200.

    $ 163,350.00, option B is correct

    Explanation:

    At the beginning of the current year, the stockholders equity is the difference between total assets of $877,000 and total liabilities of $748,500 i. e $128,500.

    However, the increase or decrease to stockholders' equity in the current year is the difference between increase in total assets of $59,700 and the the increase in liabilities of $24,850 i. e $ 34,850.00

    Hence stockholders' equity=the initial stockholders' equity+increase=$128,500+$ 34,850=$ 163,350.00
