    The Carter's equity multiplier and peer group equity multiplier is 4.375 and 3.21 respectively.

    Explanation:

    For computing the Return on equity based on equity multiplies the following formula is used which is shown below:

    Return on Equity = Net Profit margin * Total assets turnover * Equity multiplier

    Since ROE, profit margin and Total assets turnover ratio is given. The Equity multiplier can be easily calculated.

    Carter equity multiplier = Return on Equity : (profit margin and Total assets turnover ratio)

    = 23.1% : (3.30% * 1.60 times)

    = 4.375

    Peer group equity multiplier = Return on Equity : (profit margin and Total assets turnover ratio)

    = 23.1% : (3.59% * 2 times)

    = 3.21

    Hence, the Carter's equity multiplier and peer group equity multiplier is 4.375 and 3.21 respectively.
