What is its equity multiplier? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

1.2; 2

Explanation:

Given that,

ROA = 9%

Profit margin = 7.5%

ROE = 18%

Using DuPont analysis:

Return On Assets = Net Profit Margin * Asset Turnover

Return On Assets : Net Profit Margin = Asset Turnover

0.09 : 0.075 = Asset Turnover

1.2 = Asset Turnover

Return On Equity = ROA * Equity Multiplier

0.18 = 0.09 * Equity Multiplier

0.18 : 0.9 = Equity Multiplier

2 = Equity Multiplier
