Question

i. Use the information available in Income and Financial position statement
in Part A and calculate the following ratios for David
Competitors Average
• Net profit margin 28%
• Gross profit margin 65%
Current ratio 2.10x
• Acid test ratio 1.50x
Accounts receivable collection period 47 days
• Accounts payable payment period 65 days

 

Net Profit Margin = Net Income/ Sales = 350/2300 = 15.22%

Gross Profit = Sales Revenue + Ending Inventory - Purchases less purchase returns 

= 2300 + 250 - 1100 = 1450

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit/ Sales = 1450/2300 = 63.04%

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

Current Assets = Cash + Bank + Accounts Receivable + Inventory 

= 4050 + 17100 + 400 + 250 = 21800

Current Liabilities = Accounts Payable = 700

Current Ratio = 21800/700 = 31.14:1
