Some recent financial statements for Smolira Golf Corp. follow:
nalin [4]

Answer:

1. The company's profit margin is 13.4% percent.

profit margin = net income / net sales = $45,064 / $336,329 = 13.4%

2. The total asset turnover is 0.82 times.

asset turnover ratio = net sales / average assets = $336,329 / [($387,891 + $432,000)/2] = $336,329 / $409,945.50 = 0.82

3. The equity multiplier is 1.7 times.

equity multiplier = average total assets / average total equity = $409,945.50 / [($205,936 + $275,000)/2] = $409,945.50 / $240,468 = 1.70

4. Using the Du Pont Identity, the company's ROE is 18.68% percent.

ROE = profit margin x asset turnover x equity multiplier (or financial leverage) = 0.134 x 0.82 x 1.7 = 0.1868 = 18.68%

Kipish [7]
