According to Chegg guidelines, I can answer only one question as the other questions are not connected and are completely different from the rest of the questions. I am going to answer Question No 1, please post the rest of the question separately.
ROA = 4.8% debt-equity ratio = 0.72
Asset to equity ratio = debt-equity ratio + 1 = Total Debt / Total Equity + 1 = (Total Debt + Total Equity) / Total Equity
We know that Total Debt + Total Equity = Total Asset
Asset to equity ratio = Total Asset / Total Equity = 1 + 0.72 = 1.72
Asset to equity ratio is also known as Equity Multiplier
From the above equation we know that:
ROE = ROA x Equity Multiplier = 4.8% x 1.72 = 8.256% = 8.26%
the firm’s ROE is A. 8.26 percent
