Profit margin on sales 1b. Return on assets 1c. Return on shareholders' equity 2. Dividends paid

Answer 1

1a.Profit Margin on Sales = Net income/Net Sales

= 184/5,800

= 3.2%

1b.Return on Assets = Net income/Average Assets

Average Assets = (2,500+2,100)/2 = 2,300

Return on Assets= 184/2,300

= 8

1c.Return on Shareholder’s Equity = Net Income/Shareholders Funds

Shareholders Equity = paid in capital + retained earnings

Average = (510+460)/2

= 485

Return on Equity = 184/485

= 37.9%

2.Net Income for the year = $184

Increase in Retained Earnings = $50

Dividend paid = $134
