Explanation / Answer

Debt-equity ratio=debt/equity

Hence debt=0.57equity

=(0.57*620000)=$353400

Total assets=debt+equity

=(353400+620000)=$973400
1.Equity multiplier=Total assets/Equity

=$973400/620000

=1.57

3.

ROA=net income/Total assets

net income=($973400*0.079)=$76898.60

2.ROEnet income/Total equity

=$76898.60/620000

=12.40%(Approx).
