Answer 1

Answer:

Profit margin % = 2.5%, Liabilities-to-assets ratio % =  42.86%

Explanation:

Profit margin % = Return on assets (ROA)/(Sales/total assets)

Profit margin % = 4% / 1.6

Profit margin % = 0.025

Profit margin % = 2.5%

Liabilities-to-assets ratio % =  1 - ROA/ROE

Liabilities-to-assets ratio % =  1 - 4%/7%

Liabilities-to-assets ratio % =  1 - 0.57143

Liabilities-to-assets ratio % =  0.42857

Liabilities-to-assets ratio % =  42.86%
