a. Ratio Analysis:
Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
= $318,000/87,000
= 3.66 times
Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/average inventory
= $820,000/$185,000
= 4.43 times
Receivable turnover = Sales/Receivables
= $1,400,000/$95,000
= 14.74 times
Earnings per share = Net income/No. of shares
= $410,000/52,000
= $7.88 per share
Profit margin on sales = Net Income/Sales * 100
= $410,000/$1,400,000 * 100
= 29.29%
Rate of return on assets = Net income/Total assets * 100
= $410,000/$488,000 * 100
