Return on common stockholders’ equity = Net Income/(Average Stock holders Equity)

Return on common stockholders’ equity = 628962/((872648+937601)/2)

Return on common stockholders’ equity = 69.49%

Debt to assets = Total Liability/Total Asset

Debt to assets = 3539551/4412199

Debt to assets = 80.22%

Return on assets = Net Income/ Average Total Asset

Return on assets = 628962/((4412199+4272732)/2)

Return on assets = 14.48%

Payout ratio = (Cash Dividend+ stock dividend)/Net Income

Payout ratio =304083/628962

Payout ratio = 4.83%

Tootsie Roll

Return on common stockholders’ equity = Net Income/(Average Stock holders Equity)

Return on common stockholders’ equity = 43938/((665935+667408)/2)

Return on common stockholders’ equity = 6.59%

Debt to assets = Total Liability/Total Asset

Debt to assets = (133566+58355)/857856

Debt to assets = 22.37%

Return on assets = Net Income/ Average Total Asset

Return on assets = 43938/((857856+857959)/2)

Return on assets = 5.12%

Payout ratio = (Cash Dividend+ stock dividend)/Net Income

Payout ratio = (18360+47175)/43938

Payout ratio = 149.15%
