Answer 1

Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities/Total Assets 0.37= 673000/ Total Assets Total Assets = 1,818,918.92 Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity 1,818,918.92 = $673,000+ Shareholders' Equity Stockholders' Equity = 1,145,918.92 ROE = Net Income/ Shareholders' Equity Net income = 1,145,918.92 x 0.129. = 147,823.54 ROA = Net Income/Average Total Assets = 147,823.54/1,818,918.92 ROA = 8.13%

Growth rate = Return on equity (ROE) x (1 – Dividend payout ratio) 0.068 = ROE x (1 – 0.25) 0.068 = ROE x 0.8 ROE = 8.5% ROE = Profit margin x Total asset turnover 0.085 = 0.073 x Total asset turnover Total asset turnover = 1.16 or 116%
