Explanation / Answer

(1)    CurrentRatio = [Current Assets / CurrentLiabilities]

Current Assets = [Cash + Marketable Securities +

Net Receivables + Inventories]

Total Current Assets = [$45 + $33 + $66 + $159]

Current Assets = $303

           Current Liabilities = [Accounts Payable + Notes Payable +

Other Current Liabilities]

           Total Current Liabilities = [$45 + $45 + $21]

           Current Liabilities = $111

           Current Ratio = [$303 / $111]

[Or]

           Debt to Assets Ratio = [(Total Assets – Total Equity) / TotalAssets]

           

           Debt to Assets Ratio = [($450 - $315) / $450]

           Debt to Assets Ratio = [$135 / $450]

Times interest earned ratio = [$49.50 / $4.5]

                                                                             Principle Paid + Lease Paid)]

EBITDA Coverage ratio = [$61.50 / $4.50]

Inventory Turnover ratio = [$660 / $159]

(6)DSO (Days of Sales Outstanding) = [AccountsReceivable /

                                                                        (Total Credit Sales / Number of Days)]

DSO = [$66 / ($795 / Number of days)]

Number of Days (or) Day’s sales in inventory = 365 days /Inventory Turnover

Number of days = 365 days / 4.15 times

Number of days = 87.95 days (or) 88 days

DSO = [$66 / ($795 / 88 days)]

DSO = [$66 / 9.03]

DSO = 7.31

Total Asset Turnover = [$795 / $450]

Total Asset Turnover = 1.76 times

ROE = [$27 / $315]

ROE = 8.57%

ROA = [$27 / $450]

ROA = 6%

Profit Margin = [$27 / $795]

Profit Margin = 3.396%
