Explanation / Answer

Answer:-1)- Gross margin % = Gross margin/Net sales*100

                  

                  2014=$249900/$484200*100 = 51.61%

2015 =$263800/$523000*100= 50.44%

                  2016 =$285600/$576600*100 =49.53%

2)- Return on Assets % = Net Income/Average Assets*100

                   2015 =$98760/($715700+$819500/2)*100

                             =$98760/$767600*100 =12.87%

                   2016 =$114420/$819500+$898760/2)*100

                            =$114420/859130*100 = 13.32%

3)- Return on common stockholder’s equity:-

    =(Net Income-preferred dividends)/Average common stock holder’s equity*100

   2015 =$98760/($444900+$566060/2)*100

            =$98760/$505480*100 =19.54%

2015 =$114420/($566060+$664640/2)*100

         =$114420/$615350*100 =18.59%
