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
