Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Stock dividend do not affect Stockholder's in total.

Beginning equity = Total assets - Total liabilities.

                             = $600,000 - 400,000

                             = $200,000

Net income = Revenues - Expenses

                   = $250,000 - $90,000

                   = $160,000

Ending balance of Equity = Beginning equity + Net income

                                          = $200,000 + $160,000

                                          = $360,000
