    13.69%

    Explanation:

    Return on Equity = Net Income / Shareholder's Equity

    All Computations are in millions

    Shareholder's Equity = Common Stock + Retained Earnings

    Shareholder's Equity = $2960 + $735

    Shareholder's Equity = $3,695

    Net Income = $506

    Return on Equity = $506 / $3,695

    Return on Equity = 13.69 %
