Answer:

Increase of $95,000

Explanation:

Stockholder equity: It records the issue of shares, retained earnings, and deduct the dividend amount if declared.

The expenses which are related to the business is directly or indirectly affect the stockholder equity.

So, the net effect is shown below:

Issuance of common stock = $200,000

Less - Payment of salaries expense = $105,000

So, the net effect would be equal to

= $200,000 - $105,000

= $95,000

The accounts payable does not affect stockholder equity. So, it would not be considered.

This $95,000 would increase stockholder equity.
