    D 1.33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 0.65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The asset turnover ratio is calculated as revenue divided by total assets. Using the formula for ROE, we can solve for the asset turnover ratio: ROE = Profit margin x Asset turnover ratio x Leverage 20% = 15% x Asset turnover ratio x (Total assets / Shareholder equity) Asset turnover ratio = 20% / (15% x (Total assets / Shareholder equity)) Asset turnover ratio = 20% / (15% x 2) Asset turnover ratio = 0.67
