Stockholders' equity will be reduced by all of the following except that the

dollar amount of the debits equals the dollar amount of the credits in the ledger

means




Answer & Explanation


To determine which transactions or events do not reduce stockholders' equity,

let's consider the typical components and transactions that affect it:


1. Dividends Declared: When a company declares dividends, it reduces

retained earnings, which is a component of stockholders' equity.


2. Net Losses: If a company incurs losses, this will decrease retained

earnings and thus reduce stockholders' equity.


3. Treasury Stock Purchases: When a company buys back its own shares,

it reduces stockholders' equity because treasury stock is recorded as a

contra-equity account.
