Answer:

18%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the DuPont Analysis which is shown below:

ROE = Profit margin × Total assets turnover × Equity multiplier

ROE = 6% × 2 × 1.5

        = 18%

The total assets turnover is shown below:

= Sales ÷ total assets

= $230 million ÷ $115 million

= 2

Simply we apply the ROE formula in which the profit margin is multiplied with the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier
