Answer:
18.31%
Explanation:
Purple panda products incorporation has a shareholder's equity of $650,000
The tax rate is 30%
=30/100
= 0.3
The EBIT is $170,000
The first step is to calculate the net income
Net income= EBIT - tax
= $170,000-(0.3×170,000)
= $170,000-51,000
= 119,000
Therefore, the ROE can be calculated as follows
ROE= Net income/shareholder's equity
= 119,000/650,000
= 0.1831×100
= 18.31%
Hence the ROE is 18.31%
