Explanation / Answer

current ratio Current assets / curent liabilities 94650/23600 4.01 acid test ratio (current assets - inventory - prepaid expenses) / current liabilitites (94650-36150-2600)/23600 2.37 average collection period (Average net accounts receivable / Net sales on account) * 365 days (34200/451600)*365 27.64 Inventory turnover Cost of goods sold / average inventory 297050/((54900+36150)/2) 6.52 Days sales in inventory (average inventory / cost of goods sold) * 365 days (((54900+36150)/2)/297050)*365 55.94 debt to equity Total liabilties / total equity 94000/148950 0.63 times interest earned Earning before interest and tax / interest expense 55150/4500 12.26 Profit Margin ratio Net profit/ net sales 30246/451600 6.70% Total asset turnover Sales / Average total assets 451600 / ((209400+242950)/2) 2.00 Return on total assets Net profit / Average total assets 4500 / ((209400+242950)/2) 1.99% Return on common stockholders' equity Net profit/Average stock holders' equity 4500/((148950+118704)/2) 3.36% Current assets = 8000+9200+34200+4500+36150+2600 = $94650 Current Liabilities =15500+3600+4500 = $23600 Total equity on Dec 31' 2015 = 87000+61950= $148950 Total equity on dec 31, 2014 = 87000+31704 = $118704 Total liabilitites = 15500+3600+4500+70400 = $94000 Operating profit = 154550-99400 = $55150
