    The ROE (return on equity) for this project will be 21.14%

    Explanation:

    Return on equity (ROE) is calculated by using following formula:

    Return on Equity = (Net Income / Average Shareholders' Equity) x100%

    In Wizard Co.:

    The project will require $550,000 in assets and will be financed with 100% equity. Average Shareholders' Equity is $550,000 and Interest expense is $0.

    The project produces an EBIT of $155,000, tax rate of 25%

    Net income = $155,000 - Tax amount = $155,000 - 25% x $155,000 = $116,250

    ROE = ($116,250/$550,000) x100% = 21.14%
