Answer:

27.03%

Step-by-step explanation:

Average common stockholders' equity = (1,200,000+2,500,000) / 2

Average common stockholders' equity = $3,700,000 / 2

Average common stockholders' equity = $1,850,000

Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = Net Income / Average common stockholders' equity

Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = $500,000 / $1,850,000

Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = 0.27027

Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = 27.03%
