Explanation / Answer

We have:

D/E ratio = 1.36

ROA = 7.61%

Total Equity = 680,000

1)

Equity multiplier = (1+D/E ratio)

                                =1+1.36

                                = 2.36 times

2)

Return on Equity ROE = ROA x Equity multiplier

                                           = 7.61% x 2.36

                                            = 17.96%

3)

Net Income = ROE x total equity

                        =17.96% x 680,000

                        = 122,128
