Assume the return on equity is 20% What is the net income? (DO NOT round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16) Step 1 Given information, Sales =$6,209 Total assets=$2,825 Debt-equity ratio(D/E)=1.10 Return on equity =11% arrow_forward Step 2 Return on equity(ROE) = (Profit margin)(Total asset turnover)(Equity multiplier) = (Profit margin)(Sales / Total assets)(1 + D/E) Therefore, Profit margin = [(Return on equity)(Total assets)] / [(1 + D/E)(Sales)] =[0.11*2,825]/[( 1 + 1.1)*6,209] =310.75/13,038.9 =0.0238325 Hence, Net income = Sales *profit margin =$6,209* 0.0238 =$147.98 But I am getting an error saying this answer is complete but not entirely correct?arrow_forward
