Hello.  I’m having great difficulty navigating my way through these last two problems on my homework assignment.  I feel as though there is insufficient information to solve this problem or I may be completely off base.  I’m not even sure where to begin.  Can someone please give me some direction to help me solve these problems?  Thank you for your time.

You need to use the DuPont Formula to solve these problems.

Remember,

ROE = ROI x Equity Multiplier
ROE = (Net Income / Total Assets) x (Total Assets / Owner's Equity)
