A firm has a (net income/taxable income) ratio of 0.8, a leverage ratio of 1.5, a (taxable income/EBIT) of 0.4, an asset turnover ratio of 2, and a return on sales ratio of 10%. What is the firm's ROE?
The ROE is computed as follows:
= Leverage ratio x return on sales ratio x Asset turnover ratio
= 1.5 x 0.10 x 2
= 30%
