Explanation / Answer

1) GROSS PROFIT MARGIN = GROSS PROFIT / NET SALES X 100

=1000800 / 2800800 X 100

= 35.7%

2) DEBT EQUITY RATIO = TOTAL LIABILITIES / EQUITY

            = (CURRENT LIABILITIES + LONG TERM DEBT) / (COMMON STOCK + PAID IN CAPITAL + RETAINED   EARNING)

           = (350000 + 900000) / (250500+180000+2000500)

           = 1250000/ 2431000

           =0.51

3) INVENTORY TURNOVER (IN DAYS) = 365 / (COGS/INVENTORY)

= 365 / (1800000 / 257800)

= 52 DAYS

4) RETURN ON EQUITY = EARNING AFTER TAX / EQUITY

= 58900 / 2431000

= 2.42%
