Q. 1

Y3K, Inc. has sales of $7425, total assets of $3,500, and a debt-equity ratio of 0.29. 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%

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?
