Solutions

Expert Solution

Correct Option B i.e. 14%
Return on Equity = Net Income to common stockholder/ Average Equity
                                    = 156240 / 1116000
14.00%
Net Income to common stockholder
Net Income          175,240
Less: Dividend to preference stockholder          (19,000)
Net Income to common stockholder          156,240
Average Equity =( Beginning Equity + Ending Equity )/2
     =(862000 + 1370000)/2
                                                        1,116,000
