A firm has a tax burden ratio of 0.8, a leverage ratio of 1.35, an interest burden of 0.8, and a return on sales of 12%. The firm generates $2.60 in sales per dollar of assets. What is the firm's ROE?

Answer 1

28.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

ROE = Tax burden * Interest burden * Margin * Turnover * Leverage

ROE = 0.85*0.8*0.12*2.60*1.35

ROE = 0.286416

ROE = 28.64%
