Current ratio Acid-test ratio Times interest earned Profit margin on sales Asset turnover Inventory turnover

Explanation / Answer

(a) Calculation of Ratios

Current Ratio

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liability

= 10,140 / 6,480

= 1.56 Times

Acid Test Ratio

Acid Test Ratio = (Current assets – Inventory) / Current Liabilities

= (10,140 – 6,060         ) / 6,480

= 0.63 Times

Times interest earned

Times interest earned = (Earnings before interest and taxes) ÷ Interest expense

Times interest earned = (Net income + Income taxes + Interest expense) ÷ Interest expense

= (4,164 + 2,776 + 960) / 960

= 8.23 Times

Profit margin on sales

Profit margin = Net Income / Sales * 100

=( 4,164 / 30,560) * 100

= 13.63 %

Asset turnover

Asset turnover = Net Sales / Average total assets

= 30,560 / [(17,300 + 16,300)/2]

= 30560 / 16800

= 1.82 Time

Inventory turnover

Inventory turnover =    Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory

= 17,660 / [(6,060 + 5460)/2]

= 17660 / 5760

= 3.06 Times
