Q1. Compute the following ratios for 2022. (Round to 2 decimal places)

Solution [A]PROFIT MARGIN RATIO: it is the ratio used to determine the degree of money earned by the company in a particular period by operating the business.

Formula: Net Income / Net Sales# * 100

# Net sales = Sales – Sales return.

Therefore profit margin ratio = 65.10 / 4950.20 * 100

                                       = 1.32 % (rounded off to 2 decimals)

Solution [b]: ASSET TURNOVER RATIO: it determines the efficiency of the company with which it deploys their assets to earn the revenue.

Formula: Net sales or revenue / Average total Assets#

Average Total Assets = (Opening assets + closing assets) / 2

                                      = (3250.10 + 2850.00) / 2

                                      = 3050.05

Therefore assets turnover ratio =   4950.20 / 3050.05  

                                                         =      1.62 times (rounded off to 2 decimal)

Solution [c]: RETURN ON ASSETS RATIO- It shows how much profit company is able to make by using its assets in a particular period.

Formula: Net Income / Average total Assets# * 100

# Average total assets calculated above.

Therefore return on assets ratio= 65.10 / 3050.05 * 100

                                                         = 2.13 % (rounded off to 2 decimal)

Solution [d]: RETURN ON COMMON STOCK HOLDERS EQUITY: It shows Companies efficiency to generate profits for its stockholder’s.

Formula: Net Income / Total Common stockholder’s equity * 100

Therefore return on assets ratio= 65.10 / 960.80 * 100

                                                         = 6.78 % (rounded off to 2 decimal)

Solution [e]:GROSS PROFIT RATE: It shows relationship between gross profit and total net sales revenue

Formula: (Net Revenue – Cost of Goods sold) / Net Revenue

Therefore Gross profit rate = (4950.20 – 3700.70) / 4950.20 * 100

                                                 = 25.24 % (rounded off to 2 decimal)
