American Eagle:

Return on assets:

Return on assets = Annual net income/Average total assets

Average total assets = Beginning total assets + Ending total assets/2

                                     = $1,950,802 + $1,756,053/2

                                     = $3,706,855/2

                                     = $1,853,428

Note: Beginning is 2012’s balance and ending is 2013’s balance.

Return on assets = Annual net income/Average total assets

                               = $232,108/$1,853,428

                               = 0.1252 or 12.52%

Therefore, the return on assets is 12.52%.

Profit margin:

Profit margin = Net income/Net sales

                         = $232,108/$3,475,802

                         = 0.0668 or 6.68%

Therefore, the profit margin ratio is 6.68%.

Assets turnover ratio:

Assets turnover ratio = Net sales/Average total assets

                                       = $3,475,802/$1,853,428

Therefore, assets turnover ratio is 1.8753

                                     = $1,009,513/2

                                     = $504,756.5

Return on assets = Annual net income/Average total assets

                               = $164,305/$504,756.5

                               = 0.3255 or 32.55%

Therefore, the return on assets is 32.55%.

Profit margin = Net income/Net sales

                        = $164,305/$1,124,007
