Answer:

Profit margin = net profit / total sales = $78 / $5,200 = 1.5%

Asset turnover = total sales / average total assets = $5,200 / ($2,990 + $3,510) = 1.6

Return on assets = net income / average total assets = $78 / $3,250 = 2.4%

Return on common stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $78 / ($992 + $1,031) = 7.71%

Gross profit rate = gross profit / total sales = $1,716 / $5,200 = 33%

Answer:

EXTERNAL FINANCING NEEDED IS $383.736

Explanation:

For calculating the external financing , we first have to take out what the sales , cost , asset , liability will be when the sales of the company increases by 17%, so now we have to calculate all the values -

SALES = $11,100 X 1.17 ( multiplying by 17% because of increase in sale)

= $12,987

COST = $7900 X 1.17 (multiplying by 17%)

= $9243

INCOME BEFORE TAX = SALES - COST

= $12,987 - $9243

= $3744

TAXES AT 24% ON TAXABLE INCOME OF $3744

= .24 X $3744 =$ 898.56

Now subtracting this amount from taxable income

$3744 - $898.56 = $2,845.44

Next step would be of paying dividend payout ratio from it

40% of $2,845.44 = .40 x $2845.44

= $1138.176

RETAINED EARNINGS = Taxable income - Dividend payout

= $2845.44 - $1138.176

= $1707.264

NOW TOTAL ASSETS WOULD BE = $15,600(5400+10200) X 1.17

= $18,252

IT IS GIVEN IN THE QUESTION THAT COST, ASSET, LIABILITY(CURRENT) ARE ALL PROPORTIONAL TO SALES.

CURRENT LIABILITY = $3300 X 1.17

= $3861

TOTAL COST = LONG TERM LIABILITY + CURRENT LIABILITY

=$4820 + $3861

= $8681

TOTAL EQUITY EQUAL = $7480 + $1707.264 (RETAINED EARNINGS)

= $9187.264

EXTERNAL FINANCING = ASSET - LIABILITY - EQUITY

= $18,252 - $8681 - $9187.264

= $383.736
