Answer 1

A. 29.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Return on Equity is the times of profit a owner can earn on the equity investment in the business. Higher ratio shows the business is more profitable.

As per given data

Net Income = $36,610

Average Equity = $123650

Return on Equity ( ROE ) = Net Income / Equity Investment

Return on Equity ( ROE ) = $36,610 / $123650

Return on Equity ( ROE ) = 0.296

Return on Equity ( ROE ) = 29.6%
