Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales = $325,000

Net income = $19,000

Assets = $250,000

Total-debt-to-total-assets ratio = 45.0% = 0.45

Now,

Total asset turnover = Sales : Total assets

= $325,000 : $250,000

= 1.3

Profit margin = Net income : Sales

= $19,000 : $325,000

= 0.05846

Equity multiplier = 1 : [ 1 - Debt to asset ratio]

= 1 : [ 1 - 0.45 ]

= 1.818

thus,

ROE = Profit margin * Total asset turnover * Equity multiplier

= 0.05846 * 1.3 * 1.818

= 0.1382

or

= 0.1382 * 100%

= 13.82%
