I was asked to calculate the Net Profit Margin by using Stockholders Equity, Asset Turnover and Equity Multiplier, but can't figure how to do it without the Return on Investment percentage, any ideas?
:confused:
Thanks

a) Return on Stockholders Equity = Net Profit Margin x Total Asset Turnover x Equity Multiplier
So
.18 = (X)(1.0)(2.0)
X = .18/2.0 = .09
Reverse check using “a” calculation
(.09)(1.0)(2.0) = .18
Answer = .09
