DuPont system of analysis (LO3) Using the DuPont method, evaluate the effects of the following relationships for the Harpers Corporation:
a. Harpers Corporation has a profit margin of 6 percent and its return on assets (investment) is 15.5 percent. What is its assets turnover?
Return on Investment (assets)=xxx × xxx
Therefore,asset turnover ration= (xxx (xxx))/(xxx)
=(xx.x%)/(x%)
=x.xx
c. If the Harpers Corporation has a debt-to-total-assets ratio of 50 percent, what would the firm’s return on equity be?
Return on equity= (xxx (xxx))/((x-(xxx))
=(xx.x%)/((x-x.xx) )
=(xx.x%)/((x.xx) )
=xx%
d. What would happen to return on equity if the debt-to-total-assets ratio decreased to 30 percent?
Return on equity= (xxx (xxx))/((x-(xxx))
=(xx.x%)/((x-x.xx) )
=(xx.x%)/((x.xx) )
=xx.xx%
