Question J

A firm has a ROA of 10% and a debt ratio of 75%. The firm has sales of $50,000 and net income of $10,000. How much equity does the firm have?

A)

ROA to increase

B)

Equity multiplier to increase

C)

Profit margin to increase

D)

Total asset turnover to increase

E)

None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

a)

Total assets turnover will increase,

Total assets turnover = sales / total assets. A return in asales wil increase the total assets turnover

b)

For each $1 of earnings per share, shareholders are currently paying $15 per share.

c)

Equity ratio = 1 / 1 + 2 = 0.33

Debt ratio = 1 - 0.33 = 0.67'

Formula for debt equity ratio is debt / equity

If debt equity ratio is 2, we can find the equity ratio by 1 / ( 1 + D/E)

Therefore, equity ratio is 1 / 1 + 2

Equity ratio = 0.33

That is, equity finances 33% of the assets of the company.

Therefore, debt ratio will be 1 - 0.33 = 0.67

This means that, debt finances 67% of the assets of the company.

The formula for debt ratio is total liabilites / total assets. the debt ratio of 67% states that 67% of total asssets are financed by debt.
