please let me know if I'm right

I need return on common stockholder's equity=net income/stock equity=240/600=0.4

Do you mean return on common sh equity rate?

(Net income – Preferred dividends)
÷ Average common stockholders’ equity

That is the formula. Since you do not have any preferred dividends then you can leave it out.
