| Gina | The interest expense rate is part of the extended duPont equation: ROE= [(operat profit margin)(total asset turnover)-(interest expense rate)](financial leverage multiplier)(tax retention rate) |
| Gina | debt ratio=total liabilities/total assets debt to equity ratio=long-term debt/equity |
| ange | gee, i still don't see how the Total Debt Ratio relates to ROE? ... OK, D would be correct as the interest expense rate is not used to calculate the ROE using the TRADITIONAL Dupont system. However it is used in extended Dupont system. |
| cleopatraliao | total debt ration measures the financial leverage of ROE |
| johntan1979 | There is no such thing as financial leverage multiplier. It's either financial leverage or equity multiplier. |
