Answer:
-$156,000
Explanation:
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends paid - [(Common Ending + APIS Ending) - (Common Beginning + APIS Beginning)]
Cash flow to stockholders = $154,000 - {($159,000 + $3,040,000) - ($149,000 + $2,740,000)}
Cash flow to stockholders = $154,000 - [$3,199,000 - $2,889,000]
Cash flow to stockholders = $154,000 - $310,000
Cash flow to stockholders = -$156,000
