Answer:

The correct answer is II. How many dollars of assets have been acquired per each dollar in shareholders' equity?

Explanation:

The DuPont identity shows a firm's Return On Equity (ROE) as a function of three ratios that work as variables: a) the profit margin, b) the total asset turnover and c) the equity multiplier.

The second ratio (total asset turnover) measures the asset use efficiency and can be thought of as the result of total assets divided by shareholder equity.
