1. EBT = (Sales - Costs - Depreciation - Interest) = (15500 - 8250 --1750 - 9000 * 7% ) = 4870
Option b is correct.
2. ROE = 13.5%, Assets = 375,000, Here Equity = Assets
ROE = Net income /Equity
13.5% = Net income/375000
Net income = 375,000 *13.5% = 50625
Option d is correct
3. Net income =1,250,000
Dividend Payout = 45% *1,250,000 = 562,500
Dividend Per share = Dividend Payout /No of Shares = 562,500/225000 = 2.5
Option d.
4. Total Assets = 625,000
Debt/Total Assets = 55%
Debt = 55%*625000 = 343750
Debt to be added = 343750 - 185000 = 158,750(Option a)
