a.

Net profit margin percentage = Net income ÷ Sales

= $17,000 ÷ $1,270,000 = 1.3% (rounded)

 

b.

Gross margin percentage = Gross margin ÷ Sales

= $550,000 ÷ $1,270,000 = 43.3% (rounded)

 

c.

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

= $28,050 ÷ $1,463,000 = 1.92% (rounded)

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

= $17,000 + [$17,000 × (1 - 0.35)] = $28,050

**Average total assets = ($1,476,000 + $1,450,000) ÷ 2 = $1,463,000

 

d.

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

= $17,000 ÷ $1,006,500 = 1.69% (rounded)

*Average stockholders' equity = ($1,013,000 + $1,000,000) ÷ 2 = $1,006,500
