Explanation / Answer

FIRM

Net profit margin = Net Income/ Sales

= 12400/192300 = 6.45%

Equity multiplier= Total assets/Total equity

= 186500/75600 = 2.467

Total assets turnover = Sales/ Total assets

= 192300/186500 = 1.031

Du Pont ROE= NPM*EM*TAT

= 6.45%*2.467*1.031 =16.41%

INDUSTRY

Net profit margin= 7.2% (given)

EM = Total assets/ Equity = Total assets/ (Total assets-debt)

= 1/(1-0.46) = 1.852

ROE = 15.25% (Given)

TAT = ROE/ (NPM*EM) = 15.25%/(7.2%*1.852)

= 1.144

The Net profits of the firm are lower than industry. Equity multiplier is higher indicating higher reliance on debt. Total assets turnover is lesser which means that the firm is inefficient in generating sales from the assets. However the ROE is higher due to lower equity base.
