Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.

Explanation:
The Internal Service Revenue (<em>IRS</em>) offers Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (<em>VITA</em>) for elderly people who do not know how to file taxes on their own. The volunteers follow a series of practices during the interview with the taxpayers to gather their taxable information accurately. The principle of Due Diligence allows volunteers to <em>ask for clarification when the taxpayer information seems unclear or inconsistent</em>. However, if the information is not unusual, there is no need to request proof of it.
