Here Profit Margin = Net Profit Before Tax

                                                  Sales

Collection Period = Average Trade Reveivables * 360

                                                  Sales

Assets Turnover = Total Assets

                                        Sales

Payable Period = Average Trade Payable * 360

                                                  Purchases

Purchases= Cost of Goods Sold + Closing Stock – Opening Stock

                   = 10600000+ 2360000-0

                   = 12960000

Debt-to-assets = Total Debt

                               Total Assets

Gross Margin = Gross Profit

                               Sales

Where Gross profit = sales – cost of goods sold

2. a If 30 days

Collection Period = Average Trade Reveivables * 360

                                                  Sales

So receivables = 30/360*140000 = 11,666.67

Opening Trade Receivables ( Credit Sales) = 140000

Cash Receipt = 140000-11666.67= 128,333.33

Cash Sales = 140000

Total Cash Receipt= 268,333.33

b If 45 days

Collection Period = Average Trade Reveivables * 360

                                                  Sales

So receivables = 45/360*140000 = 17,500

Opening Trade Receivables ( Credit Sales) = 140000

Cash Receipt = 140000-17500= 122500

Cash Sales = 140000

Total Cash Receipt= 262500

C If 30 days = 11666.67

   If 45 days = 17500.00
