Assume that the combined federal and state statutory tax rate is 22%. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 2018 NOPAT = x ($ millions) (b) Compute net operating assets (NOA) for 2018 and 2017. 2018 NOA = x ($ millions) 2017 NOA = X ($ millions) (c) Compute and disaggregate 3M's RNOA into net operating profit margin (NOPM) and net operating asset turnover (NOAT) for 2018. Demonstrate that RNOA = NOPM * NOAT. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round until your final answer. Do not use NOPM x NOAT to calculate RNOA.) 2018 RNOA = X % 2018 NOPM = X % 2018 NOAT = X (d) Compute net nonoperating obligations (NNO) for 2018 and 2017. Confirm the relation: NOA = NNO + Total equity 2018 NNO = X ($ millions) 2017 NNO = x ($ millions) (e) Compute return on equity (ROE) for 2018. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round until your final answer.) 2018 ROE = X % (f) What is the nonoperating return component of ROE for 2018?(Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2018 nonoperating return = |x %
