Answer:
$17 million
Explanation:
A corporation declares $25 million as it's net income
The preferred stock dividend is $1 million
The common stock dividend is $5 million
Therefore the amount in which the shareholders stock equity will increase can be calculated as follows
= net income - preferred stock dividend-common stock dividend
= $25 million - $1 million +$7million
= $25 million -$8million
= $17 million
