Answer #1

ROE=profit margin*Total asset turnover*equity multiplier

18.62=(9.7*1.37*equity multiplier)

equity multiplier=18.62/(9.7*1.37)

=1.40115885

equity multiplier=Total assets/equity

Total assets=1.40115885 equity

Total assets=debt+equity

debt=1.40115885 equity-equity

=0.40115885 equity

Hence debt-equity ratio=debt/equity

=0.4012(Approx).
