Baker Industries’ net income is $21,000, its interest expense is $4,000, and its tax rate is 25%. Its notes payable equals $23,000, long-term debt equals $80,000, and common equity equals $255,000. The firm finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. What are the firm’s ROE and ROIC? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
ROE = Net income / Common Equity
= 21,000 / 255,000
= 8.24%
ROIC = EBIT*(1 - tax) / Total capital
Total capital = Notes payable + long term debt + common equity
= 23,000 + 80,000 + 255,000
= 358,000
EBIT = EBT + interest
EBT = Net income / (1-tax)
= 21,000 / (1 - 25%)
= 28,000
so EBIT = 28,000 + 4000 = 32,000
ROIC = 32,000*(1-25%) / 358,000
= 6.70%
