2.27%; 61.54%

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales/Total assets = 2.2x

Return on assets (ROA) = 5%

Return on equity (ROE) = 13%

Therefore,

Return on assets = Profit margin * Assets turnover

0.05 = Profit margin * 2.2

Profit margin = 0.05 : 2.2

Profit margin = 0.0227 or 2.27%

Percent of total assets is from equity:

= Return on assets : Return on equity

= 0.05 : 0.13

= 0.3846 or 38.46%

Hence, the debt is as follows:

Debt = Assets - equity

= 1 - 0.3846

= 0.6154 or 61.54%
