Answer:
$1,240,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Net income = $1,000,000
Pretax foreign currency translation adjustment = $400,000
Unrealized pretax loss on debt securities = $80,000
Effective tax rate = 25%
Total other comprehensive income:
= Foreign currency translation adjustment - Loss on debt securities
= [$400,000 × (1 - 25%)] - [$80,000 × (1 - 25%)]
= ($400,000 × 0.75) - ($80,000 × 0.75)
= $300,000 - $60,000
= $240,000
Comprehensive income:
= Net income + Total other comprehensive income
= $1,000,000 + $240,000
= $1,240,000

Return on equity = net income / average total equity
= 72,000 / 150,000 = 0.48
g = 0.48 x 0.38 = 18.24%
