Use DuPont Analysis to calculate ​'s return on assets and return on common equity during ​(the current​ year). The company has no preferred stock outstanding. Start by calculating the rate of return on total assets​ (ROA). Select the DuPont model formula needed and then enter the amounts to calculate ROA for 2018.

Answer:

3.83 %

Explanation:

Using the  DuPont model formula :

Return on Equity = Return on Assets x Assets / Equity

where,

Return on Assets  = Profit Margin x Total Assets Turnover

                               = (Net Income / Sales) x ( Sales / Total Assets)

                               = ( $9,011 / $35,000) x ($35,000 / 23,473 + 32,319)

                               = 2,57% x 0.627

                               = 1.61 %

Assets / Equity = ( 23,473 + 32,319) ÷ 23,473

                         = 2.38

therefore,

Return on Equity = 1.61 % x 2.38 = 3.83 %
