Explanation / Answer

(a)Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current Assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory

= 3,960 + 21,130 + 10,260

Current Assets = 35,350

Current Liabilities = Accounts Payables = 12,360

Current ratio = 35,350 / 12,360

Current Ratio = 2.86 Times

(b)Acid Test Ratio = Liquid Assets / Current Liabilities

Liquid Assets =Current Assets – Inventory

= 35,350 - 10,260

Liquid Assets = 25,090

Acid Test Ratio = 25,090 / 12,360

Acid Test Ratio = 2.03 Times

(c)Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

We are assuming that all Sales are credit.

Average Accounts Receivable = (Last year Accounts Receivable + Current year Accounts Receivable) / 2

= (23,230 +21,130) / 2

Average Accounts Receivable = 22,180

Accounts receivable turnover ratio = 109,120 / 22,180

Accounts receivable turnover ratio = 4.92 Times

(d)Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Stock

COGS = 60,840

Average Stock = (Opening Stock + Closing Stock) / 2

= (6830 + 10,260) / 2

Average Stock = 8545

Inventory Turnover Ratio = 60,840 / 8545

Inventory Turnover Ratio = 7.12 times

(e)Profit Margin ratio = (Net Income / Total Sales) * 100

= (15,760 / 109,120) * 100

Profit Margin ratio = 14.44%

(f)Asset Turnover ratio = Net Sales / Net Fixed Assets

Net Fixed Assets = Total fixed Asset – Accumulated Depreciation

= 90,330 – 15,020

Net Fixed Assets = 75,310

Asset Turnover ratio = 109,120 / 75,310

Asset Turnover ratio = 1.45 times

(g)Return on Assets = Net Income / Average Total Assets (Gross)

For calculation of Total fixed assets we will take Gross Fixed Assets

Average Total Assets = (Opening total Assets + closing total assets) / 2

= (129,510 + 125,680) / 2

Average Total Assets = 127,595

Return on Assets = 15,760 / 127,595

Return on Assets = 12.35%

(h)Return on Common stockholder’s equity = Net Income / Average stockholder’s equity

Stockholder’s equity = Common Stock + Retained Earning

Average stockholder’s equity = (Opening stockholder’s equity + Closing stockholder’s equity) / 2

= (87,870 +98,300) /2

Average stockholder’s equity = 93,085

Return on Common stockholder’s equity = 15,760 / 93,085

Return on Common stockholder’s equity = 16.93%

(i)There will be no debt-equity ratio as there is no debt in the company.
