Explanation / Answer

Current ratio= curr assets/ curr liab= 655000/330000= 1.98

Days sales outstanding= account recievable*365/sales= 76 days

inventory turnover= cogs/ average stock; for average stock, we need opening and closing stock of the year which is not mentioned in the question.

Fixed asset turnover=sales/fixed assets=1607500/292500= 5.495

Total asset turnover= sales/ total assets= 1607500/947500= 1.69

Return on sales= net profit/ revenue= 27300/1607500= 1.69%

Return on assers= net profit/ revenue= 27300/947500= 2.88%

Return on equity= net profity/ equity= 27300/361000= 7.56%

Debt ratio= debt/ total liabilities= 256500/947500= 27%

The company has a lower liquidity than industry average. The company has very high days sales outstanding compared to industry which indicates lower efficiency in sales and marketing of the company. Margins are maintained decently by the company and debt ratio is low too.

If the sales, inventories, accounts receivable, and common equity get doubled than the company would enjoy better net profit and the debt ratio would decrease even further.
