E 4–27
1.
a. Profit margin on sales $180 ÷ $5,200 = 3.46%
b. Asset turnover $5,200 ÷ [($1,900 + 1,700) ÷ 2] = 2.89
c. Equity multiplier [($1,900 + 1,700) ÷ 2] ÷ [($550 + 500) ÷ 2] = 3.43
d. Return on equity $180 ÷ [($550 + 500) ÷ 2] = 34.3%
2.
Profit margin × Asset turnover × Equity multiplier = ROE
3.46% × 2.89 × 3.43 = 34.3%
Return on equity $180 ÷ [($550 + 500) ÷ 2] = 34.3%
