Explanation / Answer

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

17488/10512 = 1.664

Acid Test Ratio =

Cash Equivalents + Marketable Securities + Net Receivables/Current Liabilities

15653/10512 = 1.4890

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Turnover/Inventory (Here, other current Assets assumed as Inventory as no other info available)

=63339/1835 = 34.517

Days' sales in receivables = (Inventory/Cost of sales) * 365

=(1835/44157)*365 = 15.1680

Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities/Total Assets

= 30394/44106 = 0.689

Times Interest Earned Ratio = Income before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)/Interest cost

=(19182(Gross profit)-1826(Selling Exps)-4402(Depreciation)+866(Operating Income)/1322(Interest cost) =10.4539

Rate of return on net sales = Net Income(Before Interest and Tax)/Sales

= 13820(As clculated above)/63339 =0.21819

Rate of return on total assets = Net Income(Before Interest and Tax) / Total Assets

=13820(As clculated above)/44106 = 0.31333

Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = net income - preferred dividends / Average common equity

= 13820(As clculated above) -1322(interest) - 2214(Tax) /2774.5 = 3.7066

Average Equity = (Opening Equity + Closing Equity)/2 = (2825+2724)/2 = 2774.5

Earnings per share of common stockholders' equity = Net Income/Weighted avg no. of shares outstanding

   = 10284/752712464 = 0.00001366 (In Million Dollars)

Price/earnings ratio = Market Value per Share / Earnings per Share (EPS)

   = (752712464*31.20)/13.66 = 1719226126 or 171.9226(In Milion Dollars)

Dividend yield = Annual Dividends per share / Price per share

   = 0.62/31.20 = 0.01987

Book value per share of common stock = Total shareholders equity/No. of shares

=(13712*1000000)/752712464 = 18.216

Cash Equivalents + Marketable Securities + Net Receivables/Current Liabilities
