Answer 1

1. Inventory turnover = COGS / Avg Inventory
2.7 = COGS / {($194,000 + $171,000) / 2}
COGS for 2017 = 2.7 x $182,500 = $492,750

2. Receivables turnover = Credit Sales / Avg. Receivables
8.4 = Credit Sales / {(79,500 + 127,500) / 2}
Credit Sales = 8.4 X $103,500 = $869,400

3. Return on common stockholders' equity = Net Income / Avg. Equity
20% = Net Income / {(512,000 + 501,000) / 2}
Net Income = 20% x $506,500
Net Income = $101,300

  
4. Return on assets = Net Income / Avg. Assets
12.5% = $101,300 / Avg. Assets
  Avg. Assets = $101,300 / 12.5% = $810,400

810,400 x 2 = $1,620,800 total assets for both years

Total assets at December 31, 2016, were $605,000.

Total assets at December 31, 2017 = 1,620,800 - $605,000 = $1,015,800
