Explanation / Answer

1. Profit Margin = Net Income/ Sales * 100

2013 = 34500 / 705600 * 100 = 4.89%

2014 = 58400 / 736600 * 100 = 7.93%

2. Asset Turnover = Sales / Average total assets

2013 = 705600 / 565300 = 1.25 times

2014 = 736600 / 617350 = 1.19 times

Average total assets = 2013 = 535900 + 594700 / 2 = $565300

2014 = 640000 + 594700 / 2 = $617350

3. Earnings per share = Net Income / No. of shares

2013 = 34500 / 33910 = $1.02

2014 = 58400 / 34910 = $1.67

4. Price Earnings ratio = Price / EPS

2013 = 6 / 1.02 = 5.88 times

2014 = 8 / 1.67 = 4.79 times

5. Payout = Dividend / Net income * 100

2013 = 31800 / 34500 *100 = 92.17%

2014 = 38700 / 58400 * 100 = 66.27%

6. Debt to total assets = Debt / total assets * 100

2013 = 84500 / 594700 * 100 = 14.21%

2014 = 80700 / 640000 * 100 = 12.61%

#Dividend for the year 2013 & 2014 is calculated as: Opening Balance of retained earnings + net income for the year - closing balance of retained earnings.
