Explanation / Answer

Company’s EBIT:

= Net income+Tax expense+Interest on debt

= $16,000+$16,000×30%÷70%+$95,000×7%

= $29,507

Company ROIC:

= (Net income-Dividends)÷(Debt+Equity)

= ($16,000-$5,000)÷($95,000+$40,000)

= 8.15%

Basic earnings power:

= EBIT÷Total assets

= $29,507÷($95,000+$40,000)

= 21.86%

Equity multiplier:

= Total assets÷Equity

= ($95,000+$40,000)÷$40,000

= 3.375
