Explanation / Answer

Part A

Part 2:

Ratio calculation Answer Industry average Interpretation Profit margin = net income / net sales 27 / 795 3.40% 3% Good Return on assets = Net Income / average total assets
Average total assets = (Begening assets + ending assets )/ 2 = (0 + 450)/2 = 225 27 / 225 12.00% 9% Good Receivable turnover = Net credit sales / average account receivables
(We do not have credit sales amount so we are assuming 50% of net sales as credit sales) = 795/2 = 397.5
Average receivable = (opening receivable + closing) / 2 = 0+66 / 2 = 33 397.5 / 33 12.05 16 X Good Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory
Average inventory = (Begening inventory + ending inventory) / 2 = (0+159 )/2 = 79.5 660 / 79.5 8.30 10 X good Fixed Asset tunover ratio = Net Sales / Average Total fixed Assets
Average total fixed Assets = Begening assets + closing / 2
=( 0 + 147 ) /2 = 73.5 795 / 73.5 10.82 2 X Good Total Asset Turnover = Net Sales / average total assets
Average total assets = (Begening assets + closing asset )/2
= (0 + 450)/2 = 225 795 / 225 3.53 3 X Good Current ratio = total current assets / total current liabilities 303 / 111 2.73 2 X Good Quick Ratio = Total current asset - inventory / total current liabilities (303 - 159 )/ 111 1.30 1.5 X Low Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expenses 49.5 /4.5 11 7 X Good
