What will be an ideal response?


a.

Net profit margin percentage = Net income ÷ Sales

= $27,600 ÷ $1,310,000 = 2.1% (rounded)

 

b.

Gross margin percentage = Gross margin ÷ Sales

= $600,000 ÷ $1,310,000 = 45.8% (rounded)

 

c.

Return on total assets = Adjusted net income* ÷ Average total assets**

= $39,950 ÷ $1,379,000 = 2.90% (rounded)

*Adjusted net income = Net income + [Interest expense × (1 - Tax rate)]

= $27,600 + [$19,000 × (1 - 0.35)] = $39,950

**Average total assets = ($1,388,000 + $1,370,000) ÷ 2 = $1,379,000

 

d.

Return on equity = Net income ÷ Average stockholders' equity*

= $27,600 ÷ $851,000 = 3.24% (rounded)

*Average stockholders' equity = ($862,000 + $840,000) ÷ 2 = $851,000
