Use the extended DuPont identity to find the return on assets and return on equity for the firm. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25 or 12.25%.)

Answer 1

(a) 0.1224

(b) 0.3825

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Net income = $15,300,000

Net sales = $450,000,000

Total assets = $125,000,000

Stockholders’ equity = $40,000,000

(A) Return on assets:

= Net income ÷ Total assets

= $15,300,000 ÷ $125,000,000

= 0.1224

(b) Return on equity:

= Net income ÷ Stockholders’ equity

= $15,300,000 ÷ $40,000,000

= 0.3825
