Answer:

d. 18.0%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what was Carter's return on equity (ROE)?

First step is to calculate the Net income

Net income = sales * profit margin

Net income= 4 million * 5.4%

Net income= 216000

Second step is calculate the Equity

Equity = total assets - debt

Equity= 2000000 - 800000

Equity= 1200000

Now let determine the ROE

ROE = Net income/Equity

ROE= 216000/1200000

ROE= 18%

Therefore Carter's return on equity (ROE) is 18%
