Problem 3-18 Using the DuPont Identity [LO3] Y3K, Inc., has sales of $6,279, total assets of $2,895, and a debt–equity ratio of 1.90. If its return on equity is 13 percent, what is its net income? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Net income = $
Total Asset Turnover
Total Asset Turnover = Total Sales / Total Assets
= $6,279 / $2,895
= 2.1689 Times
Return on Equity (ROE) using the DuPont Model
As per DuPont Model, the Return on Equity (ROE) is calculated by using the following formula
Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Profit Margin x Total Asset Turnover x Equity Multiplier
Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Profit Margin x Total Asset Turnover x [1 + Debt-equity ratio]
13.00% = Net Profit Margin x 2.1689 Times x [1 + 1.90]
13.00% = Net Profit Margin x 2.1689 Times x 2.90
13.00% = Net Profit Margin x 6.2898%
Net Profit Margin = 13.00% / 6.2898%
Net Profit Margin = 2.0668%
Net Income
Net Income = Total sales x Net Profit Margin
= $6,279 x 2.0668%
= $129.78
“Hence, the Net Income will be $129.78”
