(TCO G) If net income, total assets, and book value of equity stayed the same, what would be the effect on the DuPont Identity of an increase in sales? (Points : 20) answer DuPont is just the extension of the formula of ROE(return on Equity). In normal terms ROE is calculated as follows: ROE = Net Income / Equity In DuPont Analysis we have ROE = (Net Income / Sales) x (Sales / Assets) x (Assets / Equity). If we cut Sales with Sales and Assets with Assets we have left with the same formula, i.e., ROE = Net Income / Equity. DuPont is not giving any new formula, it is just dividing the formula for analysis of ROE that if ROE is low where is the drawback in the 3 components. Thus, we can say that increase in sales will not affect the ROE in any way, given the net income, total assets, and book value of equity stayed the same. the financial result will be same. DuPont Identity will only be help in better decision making not improving any financial results. Question 6.6. (TCO D) A stock has just paid a dividend and will pay a dividend of $3.00 in a year.
