Calculate the following financial ratios: (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

g. Operating profit margin %____?

h. Inventory turnover ____?

i. Days in inventory days____?

j. Average collection period days ____?

l. Return on assets % _____?

m. Return on capital %** _____?

* - use average equity

** - use average capital

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of the ratios is as follows:

1. Operating profit margin = Operating Income / Net sales

= 2595 / 13700

= 18.94 %

2. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

= 4360 / 242.5

= 17.98

Note: Average Inventory = (217 + 268) / 2 = 242.5

3. Inventory Days = 365 * (Average inventory/ Cost of goods sold)

= 365 * (242.5 / 4360)

= 20 (approx)

4. Average collection period = 365 * (Avg Accounts Receivable / Sales Revenue )

= 365 * ( 2646 / 13700 )

= 70 (approx)

5. Return on asset = Net Income / Avg total assets

=1222 / 28004.5

= 4.36 %

Note : Avg Total assets = (28200 + 27809) / 2 = 28004.5

6. Return on capital = (Net Income - Dividend) / Avg capital

= (1222 - 916) / 10922.5

= 2.80%
