Answer 1

1. Calculate the profit margin using the following formula: Profit margin = Net income Sales $39,726 $360,968 = 0.11005 or 11.01% Therefore, the profit margin is 11.01%. 2. Calculate total assets turnover ratio using the following formula: Net sales Total assets turnover ratio =- Average total assets $360.968 ($411,381+$437,000) $360,968 $424,190.5 =0.85095 or 0.85 times Therefore, the total assets turnover ratio is 0.85 times 3. Calculate the equity multiplier using the following formula: Total assets Equity multiplier == Total shareholders' equity $437,000 $273,352 = 1.59867 or 1.60 times Therefore, the equity multiplier is 1.60 times 4. Calculate the Return on equity (ROE) using the following formula of Du Pont analysis: Return on equity=Profit Marginx Asset Turnover Ratio x Equity Multiplier =11.01%x0.85x1.60 = 14.9736% or 14.97% Therefore, the ROE is 14.97%).
