    ROE = 16.98%

    Explanation:

    The question is to determine Amer Company's Return on Equity

    The following steps are taken:

    1) The Total Debt : Total Assets = 35%

    It means Total Debt : 1000 = 0.35

    Meaning 0.35 x $1,000 = $350 and this is the total debt

    2) Calculate Interest on debt

    Interest on debt = Interest rate on total debt x total debt

    = 4.57% x $350 = $16

    3) Now calculate the Net Income from Earnings before Interest and Tax

    Earnings before Interest and tax = $200

    less interest $16

    Earnings Before Tax $184

    Subtract tax (40% of EBT) $73.6

    Net income $110.4

    4) Calculate the Return on Equity

    = Net income / Shareholders' Equity

    = $110.4 / ($1,000-$300)

    = 16.98%
