Answer 1

The return on total assets for Stargel Inc. in 20Y2 is 9.20%, the return on stockholder's equity is 12.52%, and the return on common stockholder's equity is 12.52%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The return on total assets for Stargel Inc. in 20Y2 can be calculated by dividing the net income by the total assets and multiplying by 100. In this case, the net income for 20Y2 is $900,000 and the total assets are $9,780,000, so the return on total assets is ($900,000 / $9,780,000) * 100 = 9.20%.

The return on stockholder's equity can be calculated by dividing the net income by the stockholders' equity and multiplying by 100. The net income for 20Y2 is $900,000 and the stockholders' equity is $7,180,000, so the return on stockholder's equity is ($900,000 / $7,180,000) * 100 = 12.52%.

The return on common stockholder's equity can be calculated by dividing the net income by the common stockholder's equity and multiplying by 100. The net income for 20Y2 is $900,000 and the common stockholder's equity is $7,180,000, so the return on common stockholder's equity is ($900,000 / $7,180,000) * 100 = 12.52%.
