Introduction:
The ROE (Return on equity) is the profitability measure that computes the amount of dollar a firm creates with every dollar of shareholders equity.
a)
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Company R has no outstanding debt and its market value is $165,000. The EBIT (Earnings before Interest and Taxes) are expected to be $21,000 at normal economic conditions. If the economy condition is strong, then the EBIT will increase to 25% and if the economy enters into a recession, then it will decrease to 35%. The company has market-to-book value ratio of 1.0%.
Formula to calculate the ROE:
Compute ROE:
Hence, the ROE during recession period is 0.0827.
Hence, the ROE during normal period is 0.1273.
Hence, the ROE during expansion period is 0.1591.
Formula to calculate the percentage change in ROE:
Compute the percentage change in ROE for recession period:
Hence, the percentage change in ROE for recession period is -$35.
Compute the percentage change in ROE for expansion period:
Hence, the percentage change is ROE for expansion period is +25.
