A firm has a debt-equity ratio of 57 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.12, and a profit margin of 4.9 percent. The total equity is $511,640. What is the amount of the net income

$44,083.72

Explanation:

Given:

Debt ratio = 57%

Asset turnover = 1.12

Profit margin = 4.9%

Total equity = $511,640

Find the total debt:

Debt = debt ratio × total equity

= 0.57 * 511640

Debt = $291,634.80

Find the total assets:

Total assets = Total debt + Total equity = $291,634.80 + $511,640

Total assets =  $803,274.80

Find total turnover:

Turnover = Total assets * Total asset turnover ratio

= $803,274.80 * 1.12

= $899,667.78

Now find the amout of net income:

Net Income = Turnover * Profit margin

Net Income = $899,667.78 * 4.9%

= $44,083.72

The amount of net income is $44,083.72
