Explanation / Answer

Ans 28) Dupont equation for ROE = net income /sales * sales/total asset * total asset/total equities

Total Equities = Total asset - total liabilities

ROE for Pepsico = 6740/66415 * 66415/77487 * 77487/24288 = 27.75%

ROE for Coca cola = 8584/46854 * 46854/90055 * 90055/33173 = 25.88%

ROE for Macdonald's = 5856/28106 * 28106/36626 * 36626/16009 = 36.58%
