    Answer: 14.106%

    Explanation:

    The basic formula for calculating the Return on Equity is,

    ROE = Net Income / Total Equity

    How since we are missing some figures we can use the DuPont Formula for calculating the ROE that uses the components of the Net Income and Total Equity.

    Using the DuPont Formula,

    ROE = Net Profit margin x Asset Turnover x Assets / Equity

    Plugging in the figures would be,

    ROE = 0.0322 x 1.76 x (45.8/18.4)

    = 0.141064

    = 14.106 %
