5. Issued the stock dividend.

6. Declared the annual 2017 $8 per share dividend on preferred shares and a $2 per share dividend on common shares. These dividends are payable in 2018.

3. Calculate the rate of return on common shareholders’ equity and the rate of return on total assets for 2017. Is Emerge trading on the equity? Evaluate the results from the perspective of a common shareholder.

Average common shareholders’ equity = {(1,180,000 - 200,000) + (1,539,640 -305,000)}= 1,107,320

ROR on common shareholders’ equity = (450,000 - 24,000) / 1,107,320 = 38.47%

ROR on total assets = (450,000 - 24,000) / [($2,140,000 + $2,616,000) / 2] = 17.91%
