Answer:

26.19%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of rate of return on common​ stockholders' equity is shown below:-

Total = Stockholder's equity at the beginning of the year + Stockholder's equity at the end of the year

= $1,900,000 + $2,300,000

= $4,200,000

Average stockholder's equity = Total ÷ 2

= $4,200,000 ÷ 2

= $2,100,000

Rate of return on common stockholder's equity = Net income for the common stockholders ÷ Average common stockholder's equity

= $550,000 ÷ $2,100,000

= 26.19%
