a) 20% b) 50% c) 40% d) 35% e) 25%
ROA=net income/Total assets
net income=0.045*Total assets
ROE=net income/equity
net income=0.075*equity
Total assets=Total liabilities+Total equity
Debt=(net income/0.045)-(net income/0.075)
=8.8889*Net income
Debt to capital ratio=debt/Total capital
(8.8889*Net income)/(Net income/0.045)
=40%
