Answer:

Explanation:

Net Income = 20m

Sales = 100m

Debt-equity ration = 40%

Asset turnover = 0.60

A)

Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales  = $20 million / $100 million  = 20%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.40  = 1.40

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier               = 20% * 0.60 * 1.40  = 16.80%

B)

Debt-equity ratio = 60%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.60  = 1.60

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier  = 20% * 0.60 * 1.60 = 19.20%

As calculations provide, if debt-equity ratio increases to 60%, Return on equity will increase by 2.40% (19.20% - 16.80%)

This means that an increase in the inputs such as capital and labour which are used in producction will also cause an identical increase in output. In reality, this isn't always true.
