A firm's ROE is equal to 9% and its ROA is equal to 6%. The firm finances only with short-term debt, long-term debt, and common equity, so assets equal total invested capital. The firm's total debt to total capital ratio must be 50%.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Rationale: Equity multiplier = ROE/ROA = 9%/6% = 1.5E/A = 1/1.5 = 0.6667D/A = 1 - 0.6667 = 0.3333?Since assets = Total invested capital, Debt/Total invested capital = 33.33%.  Therefore, the statement is false.
