    Return on Equity = 25.33%

    Explanation:

    Return on Total Asset = 19%

    Debt percent to assets = 25%

    Equity percent to assets = 100% - 25% = 75%

    Asset = 100%

    Return on Total Asset = Net Income / Total Assets

    19% = Net Income / 100%

    0.19 x 1.00 = Net Income

    Net Income = 0.19

    Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity

    Return on Equity = 0.19 / 75%

    Return on Equity = 0.19 / 0.75

    Return on Equity = 0.2533

    Return on Equity = 25.33%
