Answer:
4.50%
Explanation:
Note:<em> Question is incomplete but very similar one is attached as picture below</em>
Current ROE = Net Income / Equity = $21,000 / $280,000 = 7.50%
Current Inventory = $210,000
Target Current ratio = 2.70
1. Current assets at target Current ratio = Current Liabilities * Target current ratio = $70000 * 2.70 = $189,000
2. Reduction in Inventories = Present Current assets - Current assets under target current ratio
Reduction in Inventories = $14000 + $70000 + $210000 - $189000
Reduction in Inventories = $105000
3. Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = Current Equity - reduction
Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = $280,000 - $105,000
Reduction on common equity using sale of inventory = $175,000
4. Change in ROE = New ROE - Current ROE
Change in ROE = [21000 / 175000] - 7.50%
Change in ROE = 12% - 7.50%
Change in ROE = 4.50%
