Explanation / Answer

(a)Gross Profit Ratio

Gross Profit Ratio = (Gross Profit / Net Sales Revenue) * 100

= [$8,20,400 / $23,80,400 ] x 100

= 34.46%

(b) Return on assets

= [ Net Income / Average Total Assets ] x 100

= $336000 / [ (1086000 + 883000) / 2 ] x 100

= [ $336000 / 984500 ] x 100

= 34.13%

(c) Profit margin

= [ Net Income / Sales ] x 100

= [ 336000 / 2380400 ] x 100

= 14.12%

(e) Asset turnover

= [ Sales / Average Total Assets ] x 100

= [ $2380400 / (1086000 + 883000) / 2 ]

= $2380400 / 984500

= 2.42

(f) Return on equity

= [ Net Income / Stockholders' equity] x 100

={ $336000 / 557900 ] x 100

= 60.23%

(g) Price-earnings ratio

= Market Price / Earnings Per Share

= $31 / 1.40

= 22.14 Times
