Calculation
Figures
1. Working capital
Subtract current liabilities from current assets.
=2,951,854 - 922,370
current liabilities = current liabilities are liabilities that a firm expects to pay within a year, or one business cycle, whichever is less.
=$922,370 (given)
current assets = Current assets represent assets that a firm expects to turn into cash within one year, or one business cycle, whichever is less.
=$2,951,584 (given)
$2.029,484
2. Current ratio
Divide current assets by current liabilities.
=2,951,584 / 922,370
3.20
3. Quick ratio
Divide quick assets by current liabilities. Quick assets are cash, temporary investments, and receivables.
Quick ratio = 2,317,260 / 922,370 = 2.51
Quick assets = 651,820 + 986,540 + 678,900 = 2,317,260
2.51
4. Accounts receivable turnover
Divide sales by average accounts receivable.
Average Accounts receivable = (Beginning Net Accounts Receivable + Ending Net Accounts Receivable) ÷ 2.
= 678,900 + 635,100 / 2 = 657,000
Accounts receivable turnover = Sales / Average Accounts receivable
=$3,810,600 / 657,000 = 5.8
5.8
5. Number of days' sales in receivables
Divide average accounts receivable by average daily sales.
=657,000 / 10,440 = 62.93
Average Accounts receivable = (Beginning Net Accounts Receivable + Ending Net Accounts Receivable) ÷ 2.
Average daily sales are sales divided by 365 days.
=3,810,600 / 365 days = 10,440
62.93days
=63 days rounded off
6. Inventory turnover
Divide cost of goods sold by average inventory.
=1,267,280 / 452,600 = 2.8
Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventories + Ending Inventories) ÷ 2.
= 511,000+394,200 / 2 = 452,600
2.8
7. Number of days' sales in inventory

0.16 rounded off
16. Earnings per share on common stock
Divide net income minus preferred dividends from the retained earnings statement by common shares outstanding (common stock ÷ par value).
=596,400 - 9,800 / 64,000 = 9.166
common shares outstanding = (common stock ÷ par value). = 640,000 / 10 = 64,000
9.17
17. Price-earnings ratio
Divide common market share price by common earnings per share
=61 / 9.17= 6.65
6.65
18. Dividends per share of common stock
Divide common dividends (from Retained Earnings Statement) by common shares outstanding (common stock ÷ par value).
=48,000 / 64,000 = 0.75
0.75
19. Dividend yield
Divide common dividends per share by market share price = 0.75 / 61 = 0.012
0.012
