The ending stock basis is calculated as the beginning stock basis plus increases minus decreases. Increases include the increase in AAA, OAA, tax-exempt income, and stock purchases. Decreases include nondeductible expenses like life insurance premiums. Calculation: $39,800 + $31,000 + $6,300 + $4,800 + $22,000 - $2,700 = $99,100.
