Solution:

All the question are independent, so I am solving Problem 1 for Wildhorse Co.

Problem 1 –

Stockholder’s Equity at January 1, 2018 is the ending Stockholders’ Equity at Dec 31, 2017

We can calculate Stockholders Equity at Dec 31, 2017 by using the 2017 data:

$$

Beginning Stockholders Equity Jan 1

(Assets Jan 1 $8,855 - Jan 1 Liabilities $4870)

$3,985

Plus: Net Income for the year 2017

$1,910

Less: Dividend

($1,611)

Stockholders Equity Dec 31

$4,284

Hence, the Stockholders Equity Jan 1, 2018 = $4,284

The correct option is C. $4,284
