Aparticular company has retained earnings of 12,000, total assets totaling 38,000, and total liabilities of 20,000. How much is total stockholders' equity?

Remember always that rule:

Assets=Liabilities + Owners Equity
then,
Assets= 38,000
Liabilities= 20,000

Then owners equity or stock holders equity = 38,000 - 20,000 = 18,000
