Solution 1:
Gross margin percentage = Gross profit / Sales = $36,000 / $97,000 = 37.1%
Solution 2:
Net profit margin percentage = Net Income / Sales = $6,510 / $97,000 = 6.7%
Solution 3:
Return on total assets = Net operating income / Average total assets
Net operating income = $11,900
Average total assets = (Beginning total assets + Ending total assets) / 2 = ($62,148 + $54,570) / 2 = $58,359
Return on total assets = $11,900 / $58,359 = 20.4%
Solution 4:
Return on equity = Net Income / Average shareholder's equity
Net Income = $6,510
Average stockholder's equity = (Begining stockholder's equity + Ending stockholder's equity)/2
= ($40,658 + $34,540) / 2 = $37,599
Return on equity = $6,510 / $37,599 = 17.31%
