Part 1
a).Net profit margin = Net profit /Total revenue i.e Net profit = Total revenue - Total expenses
2020
Net profit = 728000-500500= 227500
Net profit Margin = 227500/728000=0.3125
2019
Net profit = 624000-455000=169000
Net profit margin = 169000/624000= 0.27
b).
Current ratio = Current assets / Current Liabilities
2020
Current ratio = 409500/221000= 1.85
2019
Current ratio = 292500-169000= 1.73
c).Debt to Total assets ratio =
Total debt /Total assets
Total assets= current assets + non current assets
Total debt = current liabilities + non current liabilities
2020
Total debt = 221000+ 764400= 985400
Total assets = 409500+ 2275000= 2684500
Debt to total asset ratio = 985400/2684500
= 0.3671
2019
Total debt = 169000+670800=839800
Total assets = 1768000+292500=2060500
Debt to total assets ratio =
839800/2060500= 0.4078
Part 2.
Current ratio is a indicator of firms liquidity. High current ratio is considered to be good as company is more likely to pay creditors back as in both years 2020 and 2019 current ratio is more than 1 and also current ration increases in 2020. But large current ratio is not always good sign for investors .If the company's current ratio is too high it may indicate that the company is not effectively using its current assets . However quick ratio is actual measure of liquidity.
Part 3.
Debt to Total assets ratio is the measure of solvency ratio . As 0.5 debt to total asset ratio is considered to be healthy but in both years 2020 and 2019 is less than 0.5 however it decreases in 2020 from 0.4078 to 0.3671.
Solvency ratio can be improved by following
Increase owners equity.
Look for bulk discounts
Revaluate operating expenses
Avoid new debt
Issue stock
