    Hello,

    Would someone be able to explain why they use the figures presented in the explanation? It's not clear whether those are arbitrary or not as a starting point to solve the problem.

    Thank you!!!

    Hi Derricka,

    It is actually about DuPont formula:
    Return on Equity = Net Profit Margin × Total Asset Turnover × Financial Leverage Ratio

    ROE = 1.25 × 1.40 × (0.90 ÷ 1.40)
    ROE = 1.25 × 1.40 × 0.643
    ROE = 1.125

    Hope it helps!

    Regards,
    Marisa

    You need to assume or take some imaginable value to solve this question and If u look into solution its clearly mentioned that everything from previous year is assumed.

    Hello,

    Need to look at the study material. looks some information is provided which is not visible from the question you gave. Seeing the kind of numbers used, there must be some reference provided.

    Thanks,
    Kiran

    I was thinking the same thing but see the remark from Menglun Li. It makes more sense now!
