Explanation / Answer

Ans1) Liquidity:

Working Capital Ratio:Current Assets/Current Libilities = Current Assets-16826 & Current Liabilities-8226

Working Capital Ratio- 16826/8226=2.045

Quick Ratio:Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivables/ Current Liabilities = (4015+0+4492)/8226=1.034

Profitability:

Net Profit MArgin = Net Income/Net Sales*100 ; 64.1/2972*100 = 2.157%

Operating Income Margin = Operating income / Net Sales ; 121.8 (EBT) / 2972*100 = 4.098%

Ans2) Retunr on Equity (Using Du Pont)

Net Income/Salesx Sales/Assets x Assets/Equity ; Net Income- 64.1, Sales- 2972, Assets-23085, Equity-16183

64.1/2972 x 2972/23085 x 23085/16183= 0.02156 x 0.12874 x 1.42649 = 0.00428*100= 0.4%

Ans3) Performance assessment using EVA:

EVA = Net Operating Profit after taxes - (Capital Invested x Cost of Capital)

Net Operating Profits after taxes = 121.8 - (121.8*30.4%) = 84.77

Cost of capital or return on quity - Net Income / Equity - 64.1 / 16183 = 0.4%

Capital Invested - 16183 x 0.4% = 16118.27
