Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION

1. Net profit margin = Net income / Net sales

= $36,000 / ($212,400 - $4,000)

= $36,000 / $208,400

= 17.27%

Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales / Average accounts receivable

= ($212,400 - $4,000) / ((32,000+39,000)/2))

= $208,400 / $35,500

= 5.87

2. He will make 17.27 cents.
