Answer:

a. 15.62%

b. 17.79%

c. 21.53%

Explanation:

a. The Dupont formula for calculating Return on Equity is useful here;

ROE = Net Profit margin * Asset Turnover * Assets / Equity

ROE = 3.6% * 1.88 * ( 43.4/18.8)

ROE = 15.62%

b. ROE = Net Profit margin * Asset Turnover * Assets / Equity

= 4.1% * 1.88 * ( 43.4/18.8)

= 17.79%

c. As a result of the increase in revenues, the asset turnover will increase by;

= Asset turnover * ( 1 + increase in revenue)

= 1.88 ( 1 + 21%)

= 2.2748‬

ROE = 4.1% * 2.2748 * ( 43.4/18.8)

= 21.53%

beginning inventory is $92,000

Net purchases=purchases-discount+freight-in charges-purchase return

net purchases=$425,000-($425,000*1%)+$7000-($5000*99%)=$422,800.00  

cost of goods sold is $372,000

ending inventory=$92,000+$422,800-$372,000=$ 142,800.00
