What is the amount of the net income?

Answer 1

17.43

132.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Net profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio. It measures he ability of a firm to earn a profit from its assets

Net profit margin = Net income / Revenue

0.05 = x / 9800

net income = 490

net income per share = 490 / 4500 = 0.109

p/e = 1.9 / 0.109 = 17.43

Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:

ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage

ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)
