Answer:

a. both the statement of stockholders' equity and the balance sheet

Explanation:

As we know that

The statement of stockholder equity comprises of common stock and the retained earning

The motive of preparing the statement of stockholder equity to find out the ending balance with respect to the common stock and the retained earnings

The computation is shown below:

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

And, the ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + issued shares

Therefore, it would be presented on the statement of stockholders' equity and the balance sheet
