Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

__________________2022______2021

Current asset______871,500___972,000

Total assets______1,908,500__ 1,786,000

Current liabilities___415,000____ 360,000

Total liabilities_____ 564,916____ 528,656

Net income________197,760____ 410,590

Net cash (from OP)__322,000____ 498,600

Capital expenditures_289,000___ 290,200

Dividends paid(CS)___82,000____ 126,700

Weighted-average common shares outstanding 206,000 216,100

*(OP) = Operating activities

*(CS) = common stock

Current ratio for each year:

2022:

Current asset / current liability

$871,500 / $415,000 = 2.1 : 1

2021:

$972,000 / $360,00 = 2.7 : 1

EARNING PER SHARE :

Net income / weighted average shares outstanding

2022:

$197,760 / 206,000 = $0.96

2021:

$410,590 / 216,100 = $1.90

DEBT TO ASSET RATIO:

Total liabilities / Total asset

2022:

$564,916 / $1,908,500 = 0.296

2021:

$528,656 / 1,786,000 = 0.296

FREE CASH FLOW :

Net cash (from OP) - Capital expenditure - Dividend paid on common stock

2022:

$322,000 - $289,000 - $82,000 = - $49,000

2021:

$498,600 - $290,200 - $126,700 = $81,700
