Answer 1

Answer:

7.3%; 12.17%; 0.6 times; 15.95%

Explanation:

Return on assets:

= Net Income ÷ Average total assets

= ($65,700 ÷ $900,000) × 100

= 7.3%

Profit Margin:

= Net Income ÷ Net Sales

= ($65,700 ÷ $540,000) × 100

= 12.17%

Asset Turnover:

= Net Sales ÷ Average Total Assets

= $540,000 ÷ $900,000

= 0.6 times

Return on Equity:

= Net Income before dividend ÷ Equity

= [($65,700 + $30,000) ÷ $600,000] × 100  

= ($95,700 ÷ $600,000] × 100  

= 15.95%
