Profit margin = 2.11%

Haslam's liabilities-to-assets ratio = 33.33%

Debt-to-assets ratio = 16.50%

Explanation:

Calculate Haslam's profit margin. / total assets)

Profit margin = 4%/1.9

Profit margin = 2.11%

Calculate Haslam's liabilities-to-assets ratio.

Haslam's liabilities-to-assets ratio = 1 - ROA/ROE

Haslam's liabilities-to-assets ratio = 1 - 4/6

Haslam's liabilities-to-assets ratio = 33.33%

Suppose half of Haslam's liabilities are in the form of debt.

Debt-to-assets ratio = Haslam's liabilities-to-assets ratio = 0.33

Debt-to-assets ratio = 50%*0.33

Debt-to-assets ratio = 16.50%
