    The answer is a. $15.88%

    b. 19.46%

    Explanation:

    a. Equity multiplier = total assets / shareholders equity

    Equity multiplier = $ 45.9 million / $ 18.6 million = 2.47

    ROE = net profit * asset turnover * Equity multiplier

    ROE = 3.42% * 1.88 * 2.47 = $15.88%

    b. ROE = net profit * asset turnover * Equity multiplier

    ROE = 4.19 % * 1.88 * 2.47 = 19.46%
