What will be the ROE (return on equity) for this project if it produces an EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of $140,000? 15.75% 11.25% 15.00% 10.50%

Respuesta :

Answer:

15.00%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the return on equity is shown below:

Return on equity = (EBIT × 1 - tax rate) ÷ (total equity)

                            = ($140,000 × 0.75) ÷ ($700,000)

                            = ($105,000) ÷ ($700,000)

                            = 15%

It shows a relationship between the earning after tax and total equity in respect of assets required for the project so that the accurate return can come

Answer:

ROE 15%

Explanation:

Given data:

Total assets is $700,000

percentage of equity is 100%

tax rate is 25%

return on equity is given as

ROE = Net Income/ Total equity

net income is given as

[tex]Net\ Income = EBIT \times (1 - tax\ rate)[/tex]

                    = 140,000*(1 - 0.25) = 105,000

Total equity  is equal to  Total assets = 600,000

plugging all value to get ROE value

[tex]ROE = \frac{105,000}{600,000}[/tex]

        = 0.15 = 15.00% (Option c)
