Explanation:

1.

To find the return on assets and return on equity, we need net income. We can calculate the net income using the profit margin. Doing so, we find the net income is:

 

Profit margin	=	Net income / Sales
0.09	=	Net income / $18,100,000
Net income	=	$1,629,000

2.

Now we can calculate the return on assets as:

 

ROA	=	Net income / Total assets
ROA	=	$1,629,000 / $13,100,000
ROA	=	0.1244 or 12.44%

3.

We do not have the equity for the company, but we know that equity must be equal to total assets minus total debt, so the ROE is:

 

ROE	=	Net income / (Total assets – Total debt)
ROE	=	$1,629,000 / ($13,100,000 – 3,900,000)
ROE	=	0.1771 or 17.71%
