Answer:

$197,500

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

$365,000 = Total liabilities + $153,000

So, the total liabilities is $212,000

Now if the assets is increased $21,500 and liabilities is  decreased $23,000

So, the stockholder equity is

$365,000 + $21,500 = $212,000 - $23,000 + stockholder equity

$386,500 = $189,000 + stockholder equity

So, the stockholder equity is $197,500
