Fixed assets = Total assets - Current assets = $3,010,000 - $851,000 = $2,159,000
Sales = Fixed assets * Fixed asset turnover
= $2,159,000 * 3.3
= $7,124,700
Net income = Sales * Return on sales
= $7,124,700 * 7.9%
= $562,851.30
Equity = Total asset - debt = $3,010,000 - $1,750,000 = $1,260,000
Return on stockholders’ equity = Net income / Equity
= $562,851.30 / $1,260,000
= 44.67%
Return on stockholders’ equity = 44.67%
