calculate the deb ratio Given the following information for the Duke Tire Company, find the firm’s debt ratio (i.e., total liabilities / total assets): ROE (N/E) = 0.38 (expressed as a decimal) Total asset turnover ratio (S/A) = 4.6 Net profit margin (N/S) = 0.09 (expressed as a decimal) i have calculated the answer using this formulae ROE= Net profit margin*Total Asset Turnover *debt ratio =>debt ratio = ROE/(Net profit margin*Total Asset Turnover) i found => Debt ratio = 0.38/(0.09*4.6) =0.91 the teacher stated the result is -8.9 which does not make sense to me hoe it was found but why it is negative
calculate the deb ratioGiven the following information for the Duke Tire Company, find the
firm’s debt ratio (i.e., total liabilities / total assets):
ROE (N/E) = 0.38 (expressed as a decimal)
Total asset turnover ratio (S/A) = 4.6
Net profit margin (N/S) = 0.09 (expressed as a decimal)
i have calculated the answer using this formulae
ROE= Net profit margin*Total Asset Turnover *debt ratio
=>debt ratio = ROE/(Net profit margin*Total Asset Turnover)
i found
=> Debt ratio = 0.38/(0.09*4.6)
=0.91 the teacher stated the result is -8.9 which does not make sense to me hoe it was found but why it is negative
