Oscar's has a profit margin of 5.6 percent, a return on equity of 18.63 percent, and an equity multiplier of 1.49. What is the return on assets?
The return on asset is computed as follows:
Return on equity = Profit margin x Equity multiplier x Return on asset
0.1863 = 0.056 x 1.49 x Return on asset
0.1863 = 0.08344 x Return on asset
Return on asset = 0.1863 / 0.08344
Return on asset = 2.23 Approximately
