Basic earning power = EBIT / Total Assets
0.16 = EBIT / 1000000
So, EBIT = $ 160,000
Total Debt + Total Equity + Total Current Liabilities = Total
Assets
Total Debt + equity + 145000 = 1000000
debt + equity = 1000000-145000 = 855000
Debt to capital ratio = debt / (debt + equity)
0.40 = Debt / 855000
So, Total Debt = 342000, Equity = 855000-342000 = 513000
So, ROE = EAT/ Average equity or closing equity
= EBIT - interest - Taxes / equity
= (160000 - 0.07*342000) * 0.60 / 513000 =
81636/542000 = 0.1591 or 15.91%
ROIC = EBIT*(1-Tax rate) / ( Debt + Equity )
= 160000*0.6 / (855000) = 0.1123 or 11.23%
So, option d is correct.
