Answer:
13.44%
Explanation:
Debt to total assets = Total Debt / Total Assets
45% = Total debt / $230,000
Total Debt = $230,000 x 45% = $103,500
As we know
Assets = debt + Equity
$230,000 = $103,500 + Equity
Equity = $230,000 - $103,500 = $126,500
Return on Equity is the measure of financial performance which can be calculated by dividing net income for the year by total shareholder's equity.
Return on equity = Net income for the year / Shareholders equity
ROE = $17,000 / $126,500 = 0.1344 = 13.44%

Credit: Cash xxxx

Since expense will reduce net income that will be allocated to stockholders' equity, it will reduce stockholders' equity when placed on debit </span>
