Explanation / Answer

Answer 1:

Current Liabilities = Trade Payable
Current Liabilities = $36,000

Capital Employed = Total Assets – Current Liabilities
Capital Employed = $211,300 - $36,000
Capital Employed = $175,300

ROCE =                 Net Operating Profit / capital Employed
ROCE = $42,700 / $175,300
ROCE = 24.36%

Answer 2:

Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases – Closing stock
Cost of goods sold = $50,000 + $235,000 - $42,000
Cost of goods sold = $243,000

Gross Profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold
Gross Profit = $402,200 - $243,000
Gross Profit = $159,200

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales *100
Gross Profit Margin = $159,200 / $402,200 *100
Gross Profit Margin = 39.58%

Answer 3:

Operating Profit Margin = Operating profit / Sales *100
Operating Profit Margin = $42,700 / $402,200 *100
Operating Profit Margin = 10.62%

Answer 4

Current Assets = Trade Receivable + Cash in hand + Inventory in hand
Current Assets = $38,000 + $1,600 + $42,000
Current Assets = $81,600

Current Liabilities = Trade payable
Current Liabilities = $36,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current Ratio = $81,600 / $36,000
Current Ratio = 2.27 : 1
