Accounting

Pacific Packaging's ROE last year was only 5%; but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-capital ratio of 50%, which will result in annual interest charges of $589,000. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock and total assets equal total invested capital. Management projects an EBIT of $2,071,000 on sales of $19,000,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 2.8. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be 35%. If the changes are made, what will be the company's return on equity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
