    a) The return on stockholders' equity = 15%

    b) The return on common stockholders' equity = 16%

    Explanation:

    a) Return on Stockholders' Equity = (Net income) / (Average stockholders' equity)

    = ($375,000) / $2,500,000

    = 15%

    b) Return on Common Stockholders' Equity = (Net income - Preferred dividends) / (Average return on common stockholders' equity)

    = ($375,000 - $75,000) / $1,875,000

    = 16%
