Explanation / Answer

1.Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

2017 : ( 12500 +132000 + 125500 + 50000 ) / (91000 + 61500 + 6000) = 320000/158500 = 2.02

2018 : ( 18200 +148000 + 131800 + 105000 ) / (79000 + 76000 + 9000) = 403000/164000 = 2.46

2.Acid Test Ratio = (Cash +Note Receivable + Accounts Receivable)/ Current Liabilities

2017 : ( 12500 +132000 + 125500 ) / (91000 + 61500 + 6000) = 270000/158500 = 1.70

2018 : ( 18200 +148000 + 131800 ) / (79000 + 76000 + 9000) = 298000/164000 = 1.82

3.Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / Inventory

2017 : 1425000 / 50000 = 28.5

2018 : 1530000 / 105000 = 14.57

4.Return on Assets = Net Income / Total Assets

2017:297000 /1740500 = 17.06%

2018:366000 /1852000 = 19.76%

5.Percent changes:

Sales = ( 3000000-2700000 )/2700000 = 11.11%

Cost of goods sold = (1530000-1425000)/1425000 = 7.36%

Gross Margin = (1470000-1275000)/1275000 = 15.29%

Net income after taxes = (366000 - 297000)/297000 = 23.23%
