Calculation of Net profit -
particulars | Amt. | |
sales | 499891 | |
less | operating cost | 359935 |
less | Depriciation | 10000 |
EBIT | 129956 | |
less | Interest expense | 5000 |
EBT | 124956 | |

Where EBIT - Earnings before interest & tax
EBT - Earnings before tax
EAT - earnings after tax
6. Interest coverage ratio - it measures the firm's ability to make contractual interest payment.
interest coverage ratio = EBIT / Interest
= 129956/5000
= 25.99
7. Net profit measures the percentage of each sales $ remaining after all costs and expenses including interest and taxes have been deducted.
Net profit margin = earnings after interest & tax(EAT) / Net sales
= 95548 / 499891
= 19.11%
8. sale to total assets (assets turnover) - it indicates the efficiency with which firm uses all its assets to generate sales.
Assets turnover = Sales / average total assets
= 499891/(50000+1000+30000+59989)
= 499891/140989
= 3.55
Total assets has considered due to non availibility of Average total assets. Total assets consists of (fixed assets + cash + inventory + debtors)
9. Return on assets - It is the overall profitability of a firm, is computed by multiplying net profit margin and assets turnover.
ROA = EAT / Sales * sales / total assets
= 95548 / 140989
= 0.677
10. Equity Multiplier = total assets / stockholder's equity
= 140989 / 69989
= 2.01
11. Return on equity - it measures the return on the owners (both preference and equity shareholders) investment in the firm.
Return on equity = EAT / Average total shareholders equity
= 95548 / 69989 *100
= 137%
Note - Due to non availibility of average total shareholder equity, consider shareholder equity.
