My answer:
Stratfield, Inc.
Statement of Stockholders' Equity
For the year ended December 31, 2008

Contributed capital, December 31, 2007... $16,500
Add: Common stock issued in 2008... $4,000
Contributed capital, December 31, 2008... $20,500

Retained earnings, December 31, 2007... $11,300
Add: Net income... $12,980
Less: Dividends... ($3,000)
Retained earnings, December 31, 2008... $21,280

Total stockholders' equity, December 31, 2008... $41,780 ($20,500 + $21,280)

How does that look?

Seems to do the trick
