Austral & Company has a debt ratio of 0.5, a total assets turnover ratio of 0.25, and a profit margin of 10%.

This could be accomplished (1) by increasing the profit margin to 12% and (2) by increasing debt utilization. Total assets turnover will not change. What new debt ratio, along with the new 12% profit margin, would be required to double the ROE?
