Answer 1

a.) Income Statement for the year

Revenue

Operating Revenue Net sales $4,395,253

Less: Expenses

Cost of goods sold ($2,821,455)

Operating expenses ($1,004,396) ($3,825,851)

Earnings before Interest and Taxes $569,402

Add: Other Income Interest revenue $15,797

Earnings before Taxes $585,199

Less: Taxes ($204,820)

Net earnings $380,379

Earnings per share $1.70

Number of shares = $380,379/$1.70 = 223,752 shares

b.) 1 Gross profit rate

= gross profit/Net sales

Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold = $4,395,253 - $2,821,555 = $1,573,698

Rate = $1,573,698/ $4,395,253 = 35.8045%

b.) 2 Net income as a percentage of net sales = ($380,379/$4,395,253) X 100 = 8.654%

b.) 3 Return on assets = (Net income/Average assets) X 100 = ($380,379/$2,575,000) X 100 = 14.772%

b.) 4. Return on equity for the year = (Net income/Average equity) X 100 = ($380,379/$1,917,000) X 100 = 19.8424%
