Answer 1

ROE 7.54%

ROA 4.32%

Step-by-step explanation:

with the profit margin and sales we got the net income:

`(income)/(sales) =$Profit Margin`

sales x profit margin = net income

50,800,000 x 5.7% = 2,895,600‬

The Return on Equity (ROE) formula is:

`(income)/(equity)  = ROE`

2,895,600 / 38,400,000 = 0,07540625 = 7.54%

The company yield 7.54% of his equity.

Then, Return on Assets (ROA)

`(income)/(assets)  = ROE`

using the accounting equation we solve for assets:

assets = liab + equity

assets = 38.4 + 28.6 = 67

ROA = 2,895,600 / 67,000,000 = 0,0432179

ROA = 4.32%
