Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1. Earning per share : Net Income / Average outstanding common shares

                             = $ 24,000 / 100,000 = 0.24 or 24%

2. Gross profit Margin = ( Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold ) / Net Sales

                               = $ 267,000 - $ 160,000 / $ 267,000 = 0.40 0r 40%

3. Operating Profit Margin = Operating Income / Net Sales

     first need to know Operating Income = Sales - Cost of Goods sold - Operating expenses

                                                         = $ 267,000 - $ 160,000 - $ 62,000

                                                          = $ 45,000

      Operating profit margin = $ 45,000 / $ 267,000 = 0.16 or 16%

4. Net Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales Revenue

                            = $ 24,000 / $ 267,000

                           = 0.089 or 8.9 %

5. Total asset turnover = Net Sales / Average Total Assets

                                 = $ 267,000 / ($ 380,000 / 2)

                                = $ 267,000 / $ 190,000 = 1.40

6. Return on Assets = Net Income / Average Total Assets

                             = $ 24,000 / ( $ 380,000 / 2)

                            = 0.12 or 12%
