Dear · Answer 1

21.55 percent

Explanation:

Profit margin = Net Income / Net Sales

Net Income = Profit Margin X Net Sales

Net Income = 13.2% X 618,900 = $81,695

Asset Turnover rate = Net Sales / Average total assets

Average total assets = Net Sales / Asset Turnover rate

Average total assets = 618900 / 1.54 = 401,883

Equity Multiplier = Total assets / shareholder's equity

Shareholder's equity = Total Assets / Equity multiplier

Shareholder's equity = 401,833 / 1.06 = $379,135

Return on Equity = net Income / shareholder's equity

Return on Equity = 81,695 / 379135 = 0.2155 = 21.55%
