Answer:

Yes

raketka [301]

Answer:

Net income= $2,328,000

ROA= 12%

ROE= 25.30%

Explanation:

Aquilera incorporation has a sales of $19.4 million

The total assets is $14.4 million

The total debt is $5.2 million

The profit margin is 12%

The net income can be calculated as follows

= profit margin × sales

= 12/100 × 19,400,000

= 0.12 × 19,400,000

= $2,328,000

The ROA can be calculated as follows

= Net income/Average Sales

= 2,328,000/19,400,000

= 0.12 × 100

= 12%

The ROE can be calculated as follows

= Net income/Total equity

Total equity= Total assets - Total debt

= 14,400,000-5,200,000

= 9,200,000

= 2,328,000/9,200,000

= 0.2530 × 100

= 25.30%
