Question

This year Andrews achieved an ROE of 30.2%. Suppose next year the profit margin (Net Income/Sales) increases. Assuming sales, assets and financial leverage remain the same next year, what effect would you expect this action to have on Andrews's ROE

Answer 1

It Is expected that Andrew's ROE would increase.

ROE is a short form of return on equity. ROE is a profitability ratio.  It measures the ability of a firm to generate profits from its asset

Return on equity = net income / average total equity

ROE can be decomposed into:  

ROE = profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage

ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)

If, profit margin increases, ROE would also increase.
