Return on equity in 2018 = Net income/Total stockholders equity x 100

= $79,000/$495,000 x 100

= 15.96%

Explanation: Return on equity is the relationship between net income and total stock holders equity. In this question net income for 2018 was $79,000 and total stockholders equity in 2018 was $495,000. The ratio of net income to total stockholders equity gives return on equity.
