Answer: 3.17%

Explanation:

Given the Net Income and the Average stockholders' equity as well as an assumption that no preferred stock was issued, we can use the following formula to calculate for Return on Common Stockholders' Equity,

Return on Common Stockholders' Equity = Net income/Average stockholders' equity

= 380 / 12,000

= 0.031667

= 3.17 %

Krogen Grocer's return on common stockholders' equity for the year is 3.17%.

I don't see it in the options so the options might be incomplete but this is the correct answer.
