Expert Solution

A) Calculation for ROE

ROE = net earnings or net income / average shareholder equity

ROE for 2014 = € 448 / [( € 1,875 + € 2,184) /2] = 22.07%

ROE for 2015 = € 805 / [( € 2,184 + € 1,477)/2] = 43.98%

ROE for 2016 = € 850 / [ ( € 1,477 + € 138)/2] = 105.26%

B) Calculation for ROA

ROA = net income / average total assets

ROA for 2014 = € 448/ [ ( € 6,972 + € 7,173)/2] = 6.33%

ROA for 2015.= € 805 / [ ( € 7,173 + € 6,451)/2] = 11.82%

ROA for 2016 = € 850/ [( € 6,451 + € 6,108)/2] = 13.54%

Calculation for ROFL

ROFL = ROE - ROA

ROFL for 2014 = 22.07 % - 6.33 % = 15.74%

ROFL for 2015 = 43.98 % - 11.82 % = 32.16%

ROFL for 2016 = 105.26% - 13.54% = 91.72%

C) Calculation for net profit margin

Net profit margin = net earnings / net sales

Net profit margin for 2014 = € 448/ € 8,632 = 5.19%

Net profit margin for.2015 = € 805/ € 9,613 = 8.37%

Net profit margin for 2016 = € 850/ € 10,364 = 8.20%

Calculation for assets turn over ratio

Assets turn over ratio = net sales / average total assets

Assets turn over ratio for 2014 = € 8,632/ [ (€ 6,972 + € 7,173)/2] = 122.05%

Assets turn over ratio for 2015 = € 9,613/[( € 7,173 + €6,451)/2] = 141.11%

Assets turn over ratio for 2016 = € 10,364/ [( € 6,451 + € 6,108)/2] = 165.04%

Calculation for financial leverage

Financial leverage = EBIT/ [ EBIT - interest ]

Financial leverage for 2014 = € 887 / [ € 887 - € 237] = 136.46%

Financial leverage for 2015 = € 1,459 / [ € 1,459 - € 208] = 116.63%

Financial leverage for 2016 = € 1,473 / [ €1,473 - € 246] = 120.05%
