Maybe in the business section? I'm not sure.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this maybe http://openstudy.com/study#/groups/Business%20Skills

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what's your question? Someone may know here. It depends I guess

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So Shareholder Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities SE = TA - TL SE = 330000 - 150000 SE = 180000

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I think we divide the net profit (NP) by the shareholder equity (SE) ROE = NP/SE ROE = 208000/180000 ROE = 1.15555 hmm seems kind of odd how it's larger than 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

perhaps we average the SE values

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

does it mention ROE anywhere in your lesson? or notes?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or book maybe?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which book are you using?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm a college student. I'm guessing this is a high school class? or no?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If you can provide those pages, then maybe I can help find the formula

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so strange how there are multiple ways to calculate ROE, but I would go with what you posted just now (since that's the answer they are looking for)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

41.6% which rounds to 42%
