The return on equity for the firm is 18.75%.

<h3>Return on equity</h3>

Return on equity=Return on assets +[ (Debt/Equity ratio)×(Return on assets-Return on debt)]

Let plug in the formula

Return on equity=.15+ [(.75)× (.15-.10)]

Return on assets=.15+ (.75×0.05)

Return on assets=.15+0.0375

Return on equity=0.1875×100

Return on equity=18.75%

Therefore the return on equity ratio is 18.75%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the exponential function that models the situation in year one. The exponential standard form is

$y=a(b)^x$ where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate in decimal form. If it is growth it is added to 100% of the initial value; if it is decay it is taken away from 100% of the initial value. We are told that the number of cars in year one was 80 million, so

a = 80 (in millions)

If b is increasing by 10%, then we are adding that amount to the initial 100% we started with to give us 100% + 10% = 110% or, in decimal form, 1.1

The model for our situation is

$y=80(1.1)^x$ where y is the number of cars after x years goes by. We want to find the difference between years 3 and 2, so we will use our model twice, replacing x with both a 2 and then a 3 and subtracting.
