Answer:

the Return on common equity is 43.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the return on common equity is shown below;

As we know that

Return on common equity = Return on net operating assets + leverage × spread

= (4.2 × 6%) + 2.5 × 7.3%

= 25.2% + 18.25%

= 43.45%

Hence, the Return on common equity is 43.45%

The above formula should be applied for the same
