ROE = 10.4%

ROIC =7.37%

Explanation:

The formula for calculating return on equity (ROE) = net income divided / average shareholders' equity = $26,000 / $250,000 = 0.104 or 10.4%

The formula for calculating return on invested capital (ROIC) = (net income - dividends) / (debt + equity) = $26,000 - $0 / [($23,000 + $80,000) + $250,000] = $26,000 / $353,000 = 0.0737 or 7.37%
