Explanation / Answer

Debt-equity ratio=Debt/Equity

Hence debt=0.85*$785000

=$667250

Total assets=Debt+Equity

=$667250+$785000

=$1452250

ROA=Net income/Total assets

Hence net income=(1452250*0.104)=$151034

Equity multiplier=Total assets/Total equity

=$1452250/$785000=1.85

ROE=Net income/Total equity

=(151034/785000)=19.24%
