iii. Return on assets
iv. Return on equity
Explanation / Answer
a. Income Statement:
Balance Sheet::
Statement of Cash Flows:
b. Not really. The negative amount for cash from Investing Activities indicate that the company is in the expansion mode. It is acquiring new assets.
The negative amounts for cash from financing activities show that borrowings were repaid during the year, interest was paid, and dividends were paid. Both the investing outflows and financing outflows were covered by operating cash flows, which is a good sign.
c. i. Profit margin = Net Income / Revenues = $ 38,559 / $ 3,518,680 = 1.10 %
ii. Asset Turnover = Revenues / Total Assets = $ 3,518,680 / $ 2,433,039 = 1.45 times.
iii. Return on Assets = Net Income / Total Assets = $ 38,559 / $ 2,433,039 = 1.58 %
iv. Return on Equity = Net Income / Stockholders' Equity = $ 38,559 / $ 1,295,722 = 2.98 %
