    The return on assets and debt/equity ratio does not change

    Explanation:

    An operating lease does not affect assets and liabilities. From the formula:

    Equity = Assets - Liabilities, since both assets and liabilities are not affected (they remain unchanged) therefore the equity is also the same.
