1) profitability ratio
Net profit margin ratio = net income / net sale × 100
= 131,440 / 5,215,000 × 100
= 2.52%
Net profit margin ratio is final picture of company which measure company's profit after deducting all expense. 2.52% is lower profit margin ratio.
2) liquidity ratio
Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
= 1,766,000 / 1,048,000
= 1.68
Current ratio shows the ability of company to pay its current liabilities by current assets. Current assets double than current liabilities is favourable for company and 1.68 is good current ratio.
3) solvency ratio
Debt to assets ratio = total debt / total assets
= 3,048,000 / 4,248,000
= 0.72
Debt to assets ratio helps the company to measure the portion of debt financing in total assets. Ratio indicates that company's assets are 70% financed by debt
