Calculate Corrigan's ROE as well as the industry average ROE, using the DuPont equation. From this analysis, how does Corrigan's financial position compare with the industry average numbers?g. What do you think would happen to its ratios if the company initiated cost-cutting measures that allowed it to hold lower levels of inventory and substantially decreased the cost of goods sold?
