Answer:
A. 34.2%
B. 4.5%
C. 8.1%
D.10.64%
Explanation:
a) Calculation to determine Gross margin percentage
Using this formula
Gross margin percentage = Gross profit/Net Sales
Let plug in the formula
Gross margin percentage= 27000/79000
Gross margin percentage = 34.2%
b) Calculation to determine Net profit margin
Using this formula
Net profit margin = Net income/Net Sales
Let plug in the formula
Net profit margin = 3540/79000
Net profit margin = 4.5%
c) Calculation to determine Return on assets
Using this formula
Return on assets = (Net income+Interest expense)/Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
Return on assets = (3540+360)/48120
Return on assets= 8.1%
d) Calculation to determine Return on equity
Using this formula
Return on equity
= Net income/Average equity
Let plug in the formula
Return on equity = 3540/33270
Return on equity =10.64%
