Explanation:

a. Current ratio

Current assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory = $22,500 + $125,000 + $74,500 = $222,000

Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Accrued taxes and expenses payable = $75,000 + $25,000 = $100,000

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities = $222,000 / $100,000 = 2.22

b. Inventory turnover

Inventory turnover = Net sales / Inventory = $800,500 / $74,500 = 10.74 times

c. Accounts receivable turnover

Accounts receivable turnover = Accounts receivable / Net credit sales = $125,000 / $800,500 = 0.16 times

d. Book value per share

Shareholder’s equity = Common stock ($10 par) + Paid-in capital in excess of par + Retained earnings = $155,000 + $90,000 + $208,500 = $453,500

Number common shares outstanding = Common stock / Par value = $155,000 / $10 = 15,000

Book value per share = Shareholder’s equity / Number common shares outstanding = $453,500 / 15,000 = $30.23 per share

e. Earnings per share

Earnings per share = Net income / Number common shares outstanding = $81,500 / 15,000 = $5.43 per share

f. Debt to assets

Total debts = Accounts payable + Accrued taxes and expenses payable + Long-term debt = $75,000 + $25,000 + $49,500 = $149,500

Total assets = $603,000

Debt to assets = Total debts / Total assets = $149,500 / $603,000 = 0.2479, or 24.79%

g. Profit margin on sales

Profit margin on sales = Net income / Net sales = $81,500 / $800,500 = 0.1018, or 10.18%

h. Return on common stock equity

Return on common stock equity = Net income / Common stock = $81,500 / $155,000 = 0.5258, or 52.58%
