Keller Cosmetics maintains an operating profit margin of 8.45% and a sales-to-assets ratio of 3.80. It has assets of $590,000 and equity of $390,000. Interest payments are $39,000 and the tax rate is 40%.

a. What is the return on assets?

b. What is the return on equity?

Explanation / Answer

Operating Profit margin = operating profit/ Sales =8.45%

Assets = 590000

Equity =390000

Liabilities =20,0,000

ROA = net Income /Assets

Sales to assets = 3.8

Sales = 3.8*590,000 =

2242000

Operating Profit = .0845*2242000= 189449

Operating Profit - Interst =189449-3900 =14

Net Income =189449 -39000=150449

Hence ROA = Net Income/ Assets = 25.49%

Return on Equity =Net Income/ Equity =150449/390000= 38.57%

2242000

Operating Profit = .0845*2242000= 189449

Operating Profit - Interst =189449-3900 =14
