Net Income | $290,000 |
Preferred Dividends | 25,000 |
Common Shareholders' Equity Jan.1, 2015 | 3,450,000 |
Common Shareholders' Equity Dec. 31, 2015 | 3,600,000 |

Total Shareholders' Equity Dec. 31, 2015 | 4,250,000 |
Return on Shareholders' Equity: ________% (to nearest one-tenth %)
Return on Common Shareholders' Equity: ________% (to nearest one-tenth %)
Return on Common Shareholders' Equity: 7.52%

Shareholders' Equity: $290,000/[($4,100,000 + $4,250,000)/2] = 6.9%
Common Equity: ($290,000 - 25,000)/[$3,450,000 + $3,600,000)/2] = 7.5%
