Answer: C.25%.
We use the following formula to compute the Return on Equity (RoE)
[tex]Return on Equity = \frac{Net Income}{Shareholder's equity} *100[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]Return on Equity = \frac{50000}{200000} *100[/tex]
[tex]Return on Equity = \frac{1}{4} *100[/tex]
[tex]Return on Equity = 25%[/tex]
RoE is a measure of a company's financial performance. Generally, the higher the value, the better the company's performance.
