Explanation / Answer

(1) Total margin = Net Income/Revenue = 1218/28613 =4.26%

(2) Total Asset turnover = Revenue/Assets = 28613/9,869 = 2.9

(3)Return on equity =1218/ 2118 = 57.51%

(4) Return on assets = 1218 / 9869 = 12.34%

(5) Current ratio = 3,945/ 3,456 = 1.14
Net premiums receivable 821 Supplies 387
(6) days in Inventory = 387*365/(3,963 = 3.65
days in Receivable = 821*365/28619=10.47
days in Payables = 141*365/3963 = 12.98
Days cash on hand =10.47 + 3.65 - 12.98 = 1.14 days
(7) Average collection period 7days = 10.47 days
(8) Debt ratio = ( 241 + 4,295)/9869 = 0.46
(9) Times interest earned ratio = (1218 - 385)/ 385 = 2.164
(10) Fixed asset turnover ratio =28619/$5,924 (Land) = 4.831
