Answer:
16.27%
Explanation:
Given that,
Equity multiplier = 1.27
Total asset turnover = 2.10
Profit margin = 6.1 percent
Here, the return on equity is calculated by multiplying profit margin, asset turnover and equity multiplier.
Return On Equity:
= (Profit margin) × (Asset turnover) × (Equity multiplier)
= (0.061) × (2.10) × (1.27)
= 0.1627
= 16.27%
