    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Return on Equity (RoE) = Net Profit / Average Net Worth of the company As per accrual accounting, the transactions are recorded in the income statement based on when they occur and not based on the actual cash movement. As such, the net profit is not affected /changed when actual payment is made to the creditors. Thus, the RoE remains unaffected by the above transaction.
