Assume that Dell Corp has total liabilities of $18,000, and total assets of $26,000. It has sales of $10,000. If the profit margin is 11%, what is ROE (return on equity)?
A) 13.75%
B) 9.17%
C) 1.25%
D) There is not enough information, they cannot be calculated.
E) There is enough information, but a, b, and c, are not correct.
Profit margin=Net income/Sales
Net income=10,000*11%
=$1100
Total assets=Total liabilities+Total equity
Total equity=(26000-18000)=$8000
ROE=net income/Total equity
=1100/8000
=13.75%
