Answer and Explanation:

The calculations is shown below:-

a) Earnings per share

= Net income ÷ Common stock

= $119,200 ÷ (($13,000 + $15,000) ÷ 2)

= $119,200 ÷ $14,000

= $8.51

b) Return on common stockholders’ equity

= Return on common stock holders equity = Net income ÷ Average Common stock holders equity

= $119,200 ÷ (($376,000 + $480,300) ÷ 2)

= $119,200 ÷ $428,150

= 27.8%

C) Return on assets

= Net income ÷ Average total Assets

= $119,200 ÷ ((652,000 + $775,800) ÷ 2)

= $119,200 ÷ $713,900

= 16.7%

D) Current ratio

= Current assets ÷ Current Liabilities

= $290,500 ÷ $163,500

= 1.78:1

E) Accounts receivable turnover

= Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts Receivable

= $780,000 ÷ (($83,800 + $106,200) ÷ 2

= $780,000 ÷ $95,000

= 8.2 times

F) Average collection period

= 365 ÷ Accounts Receivable turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 8.2 times

= 44.5 days

G) Inventory turnover

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

= $440,000 ÷ (($740,000 + $116,400) ÷ 2

= $440,000 ÷ $95,200

= 4.6 times

H) For days in inventory

Number of days sales in inventory = 365 days ÷ inventory turnover

= 365 days ÷ 4.6

= 79.3 days

I) For Time interest earned

Times Interest Earned = Income before interest and taxes ÷ Interest Expenses  

= ($119,200 + $9,920 + $34,000) ÷ ($9,920)

= 16.4 times

J) For Asset turnover

Asset turnover = Net Sales ÷ Average total Assets

= ($780,000) ÷ ($775,800 + $652,000) ÷ 2)

= 1.09 times

K) For debt to asset ratio

Debt to assets = Total Liabilities ÷ Total Assets

= $295,500 ÷ $775,800

= 38%

L) For Current cash debt coverage

= Net cash provided by operating activities  ÷ Average of current liabilities

= $108,000 ÷ ( $156,000 + $163,500) ÷ 2

= 0.68 times

M) For cash debt coverage

= Net cash provided by operating activities  ÷ Average of total liabilities

= $108,000 ÷ ($295,500 + $276,000) ÷ 2

= 0.38 times

N) For free cash flow

Free Cash flow = Operating Cash flow - Capital Expenditure - Dividends

= $108,000 - $47,000 - $30,900

= $30,100

answer makes less frequent trips to the bank and firms make less frequent price changes;
