Answer 1

Answer:

Apollo's return on equity is 38.17%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the return on equity is shown below:

Return on equity = Net income ÷ total equity

where,

Net income = $50,000

And, the total equity is

= Common stock + retained earnings

= $10,000 + $121,000

= $131,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $50,000 ÷ $131,000

= 38.17%
