Y3K, Inc., has sales of $4,600, total assets of $3,430, and a debt-equity ratio of 1.50. If its return on equity is 19 percent, what its net income?
The net income is computed as follows:
Equity multiplier is computed as follows:
= 1 + debt - equity ratio
= 1 + 1.50
= 2.50
So, equity will be as follows:
Equity multiplier = Total Assets / Total Equity
Total Equity = Total Assets / 2.50
Total Equity = $ 3,430 / 2.50
Total Equity = $ 1,372
So, the net income will be as follows:
= return on equity x total equity
= 19% x $ 1,372
= $ 260.68
