debt-to-equity ratio
return on equity ratio
earnings per share ratio.
Computing rate of return on common stockholders’ equity
Wyler, Inc.’s 2018 balance sheet reported the following items—with 2017 figures given for comparison:
Net income for 2018 was $3,690. Compute Wyler’s rate of return on common stockholders’ equity for 2018.
For Financial year 2021:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities = 43.133 / 29.613 = 1.46 (2.d.p)
Debt-to-equity = Total liabilities / Total equity = (29.613 + 25.382) / 47.069 = 1.17 (2.d.p)
Return on total assets = Net profit / Average total assets = (-11.195) / 101.964 = -0.11 (2.d.p)
Profit margin ratio = Net profit / Net sales = (-11.195) / 81.79 = -0.14 (2.d.p)
Debt-to-asset = Total liabilities / Total assets = (29.613 + 25.382) / 101.964 = 0.54 (2.d.p)
Cash flow on total assets = Net cash flow from operating activities / Average total assets = 4.717 / 101.964 = 0.05 (2.d.p)
For Financial year 2022:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities = 49.476 / 32.754 = 1.51 (2.d.p)
Debt-to-equity = Total liabilities / Total equity = (32.754 + 27.625) / 46.732 = 1.29 (2.d.p)
Return on total assets = Net profit / Average total assets = (-0.336) / 107.111 = -0.003 (3.d.p)
Profit margin ratio = Net profit / Net sales = (-0.336) / 115.56 = -0.003 (3.d.p)
