Need help calculating the following:

Determine the following measures for 20Y8. Round ratio values to one decimal place and dollar amounts to the nearest cent. For number of days' sales in receivables and number of days' sales in inventory, round intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar and final amounts to one decimal place. Assume there are 365 days in the year.

5. Days' sales in receivables

14. Return on total assets		%
15. Return on stockholders’ equity		%
16. Return on common stockholders’ equity

Answer 1

14) Return on Total Assets :-

Net Income = $740000

Avg. Total Assets = (Beginning Value of Total Assets + Ending Value of Total Assets) / 2

= ($8274137 + $11194890) / 2

= $9734514

Return on Total Assets = Net Income / Avg. Total Assets

= $740000 / $9734514

= 7.60%

15) Return on Stockholder's Equity :-

Avg. Total Stockholder's Equity = (Stockholder's Equity 2017 + Stockholder's Equity 2018) / 2

Avg. Total Stockholder's Equity = ($4669100 + $5330900) / 2

= $10000000 / 2

= $5000000

Return on Stockholder's Equity = Net Income / Avg. Total Stockholder's Equity

= $740000 / $5000000

= 14.80%

16) Return on Common Stockholder's Equity :-

Avg. Common Stockholder's Equity = (Common Stockholder's Equity 2017 + Common Stockholder's Equity 2018)/2

= ($780000 + $780000) / 2

= $780000

Return on Common Stockholder's Equity = Net Income / Avg. Common Stockholder's Equity

= $740000 / $780000

= 0.9487179 or 94.87%
