Answer

A. Current Ratio:

17,213   = 1.71
10,070

B. Quick Ratio:

$1,712 + $6,153
$10,070

= 0.78

C. Accounts Receivable Turnover:

6,966 + 6,153 / 2 = $6,560

$65,786 / $6,560 = 10.03 x per year

D. Average Collection Period:

365 / 10.03 = 36.4 days to collect

E. Inventory Turnover:

7,179 + 7,596 / 2 = 7,388

$45,725 / $7,388 = 6.2 x per year

F. Days Inventory in Warehouse:

365 / 6.2 = 59 days in the warehouse

G. Debt to Total Assets:

28,218 = 64.5%
43,765

H. Debt to Equity:

28,818 = 186%
15,487

I. Return on Stockholder’s Equity:

15,487 + 15,347 / 2 = 15,417

$2,920 / $15,417 = 18.9%

J. Return on Assets:

43,705 + 44,533 / 2 = 44,119

$2,920 / $44,119 = 6.6%

K. Profit Margin:

$2,920 / $67,390 = 4.3%

L. Earnings Per Share:

$2,920 – $0
723.6 = $4.03 per share

M. Price-Earnings Ratio:

$62 / $4.03 = 15.4 x

Answer

A. Current Ratio:

406,221 = 3.3
123,054

B. Quick Ratio:

$224,838 + $5,658 + $124,766 / $123,054 = 2.9

C. Accounts Receivable Turnover:

4,763 + 5,658 / 2 = $5,211

I. Return on Stockholder’s Equity:

(810,873 + 703,461 / 2 = 757,167)

$178,981 / $757,167 = 23.6%

J. Return on Assets:

1,121,605 + 961,505 / 2 = 1,041,555

$178,981 / $1,041,555 = 17.2%

K. Profit Margin:

$178,981 / $1,835,922 = 9.75%

L. Earnings Per Share:

$178,981 – $0 / 31,234 = $5.73 per share

M. Price-Earnings Ratio:
