Question

Corporate decision makers and analysts often use a technique called DuPont analysis to understand and assess the factors that drive a company's financial performance, as measured by its return on equity (ROE). Depending on the version used, the DuPont equation will deconstruct the firm's ROE, its best measure of financial performance, into two or three important factors, or drivers. DuPont analysis can be conducted using either the traditional DuPont equation or the extended DuPont equation. The traditional equation is constructed using two drivers, while the extended DuPont equation uses three variables to examine a firm's ROE performance. To conduct a DuPont analysis using the traditional equation, complete the following equations:

firm B

EM = total asset/equity = 5641/2431 = 2.32

ROE = 180.2/2431 = .0741 = 7.41%
