Explanation / Answer

a.

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

                     = $2,950,000 / $1,453,500

                     = 2.03

Days sales outstanding = 365 days ÷ (Sales / Receivable)

                                     = 365 / 4.8

                                    = 76 days

COGS/Inventory = $6,375,000 / $1,125,000

                            = 5.7

Sales/Fixed assets = $7,500,000 / $1,350,000

                             = 5.6

Sales/Total assets = $7,500,000 / $4,275,000

                            = 1.8

Net income/Sales = ($113,022 / $7,500,000) × 100

                            = 1.5%

Net income/Total assets = ($113,022 / $4,275,000) × 100

                                    = 2.6%

Net income/Common equity = ($113,022 / $1,752,750) × 100

                                             = 6.4%

Total debts/Total assets = ($1,068,750 / $4,275,000) × 100

                                    = 25%

Total liabilities/Total assets = ($2,522,250 / $4,275,000) × 100

                                           = 59%
