Explanation / Answer

33. Total debt ratio for 2015 = total liabilities/total assets
= (78900+50000+295600)/913600
= 0.46


34. Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/ inventory = 542800/99500 = 5.46
Days sales in inventory = 365/inventory turnover = 365/5.46
= 66.91


35. Equity multiplier = total assets/total equity = 913600/(170000+319100)
= 1.87 (1.8679)


36. 3 components of DuPont = net profit margin, asset turnover and equity multiplier
Net profit margin = 94000/848600 = 11.08%
Asset turnover = sales/ assets = 848600/ 913600 = 0.9289
Equity multiplier = 1.8679 (as calculated in 35)
Hence the answer is option “A” – 11.08%, 0.9289, 1.8679
