1. Gross margin percentage = 40%

2. Current ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) = 2.45

3. Acid-test ratio = 0.95

4. Average collection period = 26 days

5. Average sale period = 81 days

6. Debt-to-equity ratio = 0.63

7. Times interest earned = 6 times

8. Book value per share = $40 per share

Explanation:

1. Gross margin percentage.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Gross margin percentage = (Gross margin / Sales) * 100 (1)

Where;

Sales = $2,100,000

Gross margin = $840,000

We substitute the values into equation (1) and have:

Gross margin percentage = ($840,000 / $2,100,000) * 100 = 0.40 * 100 = 40%

2. Current ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Current ratio = Total current assets / Current liabilities (2)

Where;

Total current assets = $490,000

Current liabilities = $200,000

We substitute the values into equation (2) and have:

Current ratio = $490,000 / $200,000 = 2.45

3. Acid-test ratio.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Acid-test ratio = (Total current assets – Closing Merchandise Inventory) / Current liabilities (3)

Where;

Total current assets = $490,000

Closing Merchandise Inventory = $300,000

Current liabilities = $200,000

We substitute the values into equation (3) and have:

Acid-test ratio = ($490,000 - $300,000) / $200,000 = $190,000 / $200,000 = 0.95

4. Average collection period.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Average collection period = (Average accounts receivable / Sales) * 365 days …….. (4)

Where;

Average accounts receivable = (Beginning account receivable + Ending account receivable) / 2 = ($140,000 + $160,000) / 2 = $300,000 / 2 = $150,000

Sales = $2,100,000

We substitute the values into equation (4) and have:

Average collection period = ($150,000 / $2,100,000) * 365 = 26 days approximately.

5. Average sale period.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Average sale period = 365 days / Inventory turnover ……………………….. (5)

Where;

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory = Cost of goods sold / [(Opening inventory + Closing inventory) / 2] = 1,260,000 / [($260,000 + $300,000) / 2] = 1,260,000 / [$560,000 / 2] = 1,260,000 / $280,000 = 4.50

We substitute the values into equation (5) and have:

Average sale period = 365 days / 4.50 = 81 days

6. Debt-to-equity ratio.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities / Total stockholders’ equity ……………………. (6)

Where;

Total liabilities = $500,000  

Total stockholders’ equity = $800,000

We substitute the values into equation (6) and have:

Debt-to-equity ratio = $500,000 / $800,000 = 0.63

7. Times interest earned.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Times interest earned = Income before interest and tax / Interest expense ……………….. (7)

Where;

Income before interest and tax = Net operating income = $180,000

Interest expense = $30,000

We substitute the values into equation (7) and have:

Times interest earned = $180,000 / $30,000 = 6 times

8. Book value per share.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Book value per share = Total stockholders’ equity / Number of shares outstanding ……….. (8)

Where;

Total stockholders’ equity = $800,000

Number of shares outstanding = $100,000 / $5 = 20,000 shares

We substitute the values into equation (8) and have:

Book value per share = $800,000 / 20,000 = $40 per share
