Ans 1: Given Common equity at end of year = $510,000
Net income for the year = $70,000
Return on equity(ROE) = Net income/Common equity
ROE = $70,000/$510,000
ROE = 0.13725
Or ROE = 13.73% rounded to 2 digits.
Ans 2:
Given current sales = $590 Million
Increase in sales = 15%
Next year sales = 590 x (1+15%) = 678.50
Inventories = $30.2 + 0.25(678.50) = 199.825 million
Inventories turnover = Sales/inventory
= 678.50/199.825
= 3.395 or 3.40 times rounded
