    Return on stockholders' equity = 13.64%

    Explanation:

    We know,

    Return on stockholders' equity = (Net income : Average common stockholders' equity) * 100

    Given,

    Net income = $30,000

    Average common stockholders' equity = 220,000

    Putting the values into the formula, we can get

    Return on stockholders' equity = ($30,000 : $220,000) * 100

    Or, Return on stockholders' equity = 0.1364 * 100

    Or, Return on stockholders' equity = 13.64%

    As there is no information regarding the previous year's common stock, therefore, we will use current year common stock only.
