Answer 1

Given about Cisco Systems,

Total assets = $35.841 billion

Total debt = $9.112 billion

Net sales = $22.835 billion

Net profit margin = 20%

Operatinf profit margin = 30%

So, Net income = net profit margin*Net sales = 20% of 22.835 = $4.567 billion

EBIT = Operating profit margin*Net sales = 30% of 22.835 = $6.8505 billion

So, EBIT ROA = EBIT/Total assets = 6.8505/35.841 = 19.1%

ROA = Net income/Total assets = 4.567/35.841 = 12.7%

Equity = Total assets - Total debt = 35.841 - 9.112 = $26.729 billion

So, ROE = Net income/Equity = 4.567/26.729 = 17.1%
