Return on Equity

Midwest Packaging's ROE last year was only 5%; but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-assets ratio of 55%, which will result in annual interest charges of $184,000. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock. Management projects an EBIT of $404,000 on sales of $4,000,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 1.6. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be 30%. If the changes are made, what will be the company's return on equity? Round your answer to two decimal places.
