Answer: Jack Corp's D/E ratio is 0.67.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

We begin with the DuPont Identity for Return on Equity (RoE)

RoE = Net Profit Margin * Asset turnover Ratio * Equity Multiplier

Substituting the values from the question in the DuPont identity we get,

0.1964 = 0.051 * 2.3 * Equity Multiplier

Equity Multiplier = \frac{0.1964}{0.051*2.3}

Equity Multiplier = 1.674339301


Equity Multiplier = \frac{Total Assets }{Equity}

So,

\frac{1}{Equity multiplier} =\frac{Equity}{Total Assets}

Substituting the value of equity multiplier in the formula above we get,

\frac{Equity}{Total Assets} = 0.597250509

Now,

\frac{Equity}{Total Assets} + \frac{Debt}{Total Assets} =1

So,

\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 1 - \frac{Equity}{Total Assets}

\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 1 - 0.597250509


\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 0.402749491


Now that we have the proportions of debt and equity to total assets, we can  find the Debt Equity (D/E) ratio as follows:

\frac{D}{E} = \frac{\frac{Debt}{Total Assets}}{\frac{Equity}{Total Assets}}

Substituting the values we get,

\frac{D}{E} = \frac{0.402749491
}{0.597250509
}

\frac{D}{E} = 0.674339301
