The return on equity for each of the partners and the firm in total is the net income for the year divided by average capital invested in the business in the year.

Average capital or equity is the beginning balance plus ending balance divided by 2:

Hockey LP:

Annual net income is $36,664

average equity = ($345,000+$381,664) / 2=$363,332

return on equity = $36,664/$363,332 = 10.09%

Football LP:

Annual net income is $751,612

average equity = ($1,414,500 + $2,046,112) / 2=$1,730,306

return on equity=$751,612/$1,730,306 = 43.44%

Rugged sports:

Annual net income is $788,276

average equity = ($1,759,500 + $2,427,776) / 2=$2093638
