What is the percentage return on assets of Google, Inc.? (Allow two decimals in the percentage but do not enter the % sign.)

Respuesta :

Return on asset is 18.46 percent

Explanation:

Given information's are

Return on equity of Google inc., = 12.00% ( google inc does not change it's capital structure so return remains at  12%)

debt-to-equity ratio =  30.00 percent

Percentage return on assets of Google, Inc

Return on asset = Net income ÷ average total assets    

debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ stake holder's equity

here no amount is given for any account let us make an assumption as follows.,debt-to-equity ratio =  30.00 percent

The stack holder's equity  is $100 ( 30 ÷ 100 = 0.30 or 30 percent)

[tex]The stack holder's equity is $100 ( 30 ÷ 100 = 0.30 or 30 percent)[/tex]

Total Assets considers both Equity and Debt      

so the Average assets = (debt + equity)÷ 2  

Average assets = ($30 + $100 ) ÷ 2 = $65

[tex]Average assets = ($30 + $100 ) ÷ 2 = $65[/tex]

Net income is the return attributed to the equity holders here.,

$100 be the share holders equity get from debt-equity ratio

Return on equity = 0.12 = Net income ÷ share holders fund

Net income = 12 percent = $100 × 12÷100 = $12

[tex]Net income = 12 percent = $100 × 12÷100 = $12[/tex]

Return on asset = Net income ÷ average total assets

Return on asset  = 12÷ 65 = 0.1846 or 18.46 percent

[tex]Return on asset = 12÷ 65 = 0.1846 or 18.46 percent[/tex]
