Explanation / Answer

Answer: (1) Profit margin=(Net income/Net sales )*100

2017=(30000/650000)*100=4.62%

2018=(45000/700000)*100=6.43%

(2) Asset Turnover ratio=(Net sales/Average assets)

2017=(650000/((533000+600000)/2))=1.15 times

2018=(700000/((640000+600000)/2))=1.13 times

(3) EPS=Net income/Weighted average common shares

2017=(30000/31000)=0.97

2018=(45000/32000)=1.41

(4) P/E ratio=MPS/EPS

2017=5/0.97=5.15 times

2018=8/1.41=5.67 times

6 Debt to assets ratio=Debt/Asset

2017=85000/600000=14.17%

2018=80000/640000=12.5%

2017 2018 -1 Profit margin 4.62% 6.43% -2 Asset turnover 1.15 times 1.13 times -3 Earnings per share (Weighted-average common shares in 2018 were 32,000 and in 2017 were 31,000) 0.97 1.41 -4 Price-earnings ratio 5.15 times 5.67 times
