Answer:C. 25%.

Return on Equity or RoE is a measure of financial performance by a company. It measures how well a company's management has handled the funds provided by its shareholders.

We calculate RoE with the following formula:

[tex]\mathbf{RoE = \frac{Net Income}{Shareholder's Equity}}[/tex]

[tex]RoE = \frac{50,000}{200,000}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{RoE = 0.25}[/tex]

Since RoE is expressed as a percentage, RoE is 25%.
