Answer:

Explanation:

Net Income = 20m

Sales = 100m

Debt-equity ration = 40%

Asset turnover = 0.60

A)

Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales  = $20 million / $100 million  = 20%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.40  = 1.40

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier               = 20% * 0.60 * 1.40  = 16.80%

B)

Debt-equity ratio = 60%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.60  = 1.60

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier  = 20% * 0.60 * 1.60 = 19.20%

As calculations provide, if debt-equity ratio increases to 60%, Return on equity will increase by 2.40% (19.20% - 16.80%)
