Given the following information, calculate the ROE. Sales = $350,000; Net Income = $50,000; Total assets = $500,000; D/E = 1.5.
a. 30%
b. 20%
c. 15%
d. 25%
e. 10%
Given about a company,
Net Income = $50000
Total asset = $500000
D/E = 1.5
=> total equity = Total assets*(1/(1+D/E)) = 500000*1/2.5 = $200000
So, ROE = Net income/Total equity = 50000/200000 = 25%
Option d is correct.
