Find the return on common stockholders' equity for year2

Explanation / Answer

Dividends on common stock during Year 2 totaled $40 thousand. Dividends on preferred stock total $10 thousand. The market price of common stock at the end of the year 2 was $9.80 per share.

1. Gross margin percentage:

430/110= 0.38 = 38%

2. Earnings per share (of common stock):

$110,000 - $10,000 = $100,000/ 200000 = $0.50

3. Price-earnings ratio:

9.80/.50=19.6

4. Dividend payout ratio:

$40/200 = $0.20

$0.20/ $0.50 = 40.0%

5. Dividend yield ratio:

$0.20/$9.80 = 2.04%

6. Return on total assets:

($1,400 + $1,370)/ 2 = $1,385

$110 + [$29 x (1-0.30)] = $130.3

$130.3/$1,385 = 9.41%

7. Return on common stockholders
