What will be an ideal response?


a.Times interest earned ratio = Earnings before interest expense and income taxes ÷ 
Interest expense
= $61,714 ÷ $12,000 = 5.14 (rounded)

b.Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Stockholders' equity
= $397,000 ÷ $1,150,000 = 0.35 (rounded)

c.Equity multiplier = Average total assets* ÷ Average stockholders' equity*
= $1,538,500 ÷ $1,135,000 = 1.36 (rounded)

*Average total assets = ($1,547,000 + $1,530,000) ÷ 2 = $1,538,500
**Average stockholders' equity = ($1,150,000 + $1,120,000) ÷ 2 = $1,135,000

d.Net profit margin percentage = Net income ÷ Sales
= $34,800 ÷ $1,220,000 = 2.9% (rounded)

e.Gross margin percentage = Gross margin ÷ Sales
= $520,000 ÷ $1,220,000 = 42.6% (rounded)

f.Return on total assets = Adjusted net income* ÷ Average total assets**
= $43,200 ÷ $1,538,500 = 2.81% (rounded)

*Adjusted net income = Net income + [Interest expense × (1 - Tax rate)]
= $34,800 + [$12,000 × (1 - 0.30)] = $43,200

**Average total assets = ($1,547,000 + $1,530,000) ÷ 2 = $1,538,500

g.Return on equity = Net income ÷ Average stockholders' equity*
= $34,800 ÷ $1,135,000 = 3.07% (rounded)

*Average stockholders' equity = ($1,150,000 + $1,120,000) ÷ 2 = $1,135,000
