The Washington Company starts the year with $800,000 in assets and $300,000 in liabilities. During the year the company reported net income of $200,000 and paid dividends during the year of $40,000. No other equity transactions took place. What was the company's return on equity for the period?
Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income by average owner's equity. Beginning owner's equity is the difference between beginning assets and liabilities ($800K - $300K = $500K). Ending owner's equity is beginning equity of $500K + net income of $200K - dividends paid of $40K = $660K. This makes average equity $580K, and return on equity is $200K dividend by $580K.
