Explanation / Answer

Answer:1 Short term solvency ratio:

Current ratio=Current Asset/Current liability

=3,272,492/2.011,650=1.627 times

Quick ratio=Quick Asset/Current liability

=(3,272,492-1,501,438-124988)/2.011,650=0.818 times

2. Long-term solvency ratios:

Solvency ratio=Net income+Dep/Short term liabilities+Long term liabilities

=$894,140/2,568,018=0.3482 times

3. Performance measurement ratios:

Net margin ratio=(894140/$11,778,070)*100=7.592%
