Problem Information Ratios Return on sales Asset turnover Assets-to-equity ratio Return on assets Return on equity
Ratio Computations Return on Sales = Net income / Net sales = 16.00% = 6.61% = 1.71%
Ratio Computations Asset turnover = Net sales / Total assets = 0.39 = 1.30 = 6.56
Ratio Computations Asset-to-equity ratio = Total assets/Total equity = 2.55 = 1.90 = 1.89
Ratio Computations Return on assets = Net income / Total assets, or = Return on sales x Asset turnover = 6.18% = 8.60% = 11.25%
Ratio Computations Return on equity = Net income / Total equity =15.74% = 16.37% = 21.30%
Ratio Analysis • The large utility is Company A. (The large investment in assets, the low asset turnover, and high return on sales suggest Company A is the utility.) • The low return on sales and a high asset turnover suggest Company C is the large grocery story. • Therefore, the large department store is Company B.
