Explanation / Answer

Return on equity = Net Income / Total Equity

= $26,000 / $245000

= 10.61%

Return on equity is 10.61%.

Profit before tax = $26,000 / (1 - 45%)

= $47,272.73.

Profit before tax is $47,272.73.

EBIT = $47,272.73 + $4,000

= $51,272.73.

EBIT is $51,272.73.

NOPAT = $51,272.73 × (1 - 45%)

= $28,200.

NOPAT of comapny is $28,200.

Total Capital = $75,000 + 245,000

= $320,000

Total Capital is $320,000.

ROIC = NOPAT / Total capital

= $28,200 / $320,000

= 8.81%

ROIC is 8.81%.
