(13)-Market-to-book ratio
Book value per share = Total Stockholders Equity / Number of shares outstanding
= [Common stock + Paid in surplus + Retained earnings] / Number of shares outstanding

Therefore, the Market-to-book ratio = Market Price per share / Book value per share
= $17.50 per share / $4.60 per share
= 3.80 Times
(14)(a)-Current Ratio
Current Ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities
= [cash + Accounts receivables + Inventory] / [Accounts payable + Notes payable]
= [$200 + $400 + $650] / [$200 + $100]
= $1,250 / $300
= 4.17
(14)(b)-Total Debt Ratio
Total Debt Ratio = (Total Assets – Total Equity) / Total Assets
= [$3,650 - $2,300] / $3,650
= $1,350 / $3,650
= 0.37
(14)(c)-Return on Equity
Return on Equity = [Net Income / Total Equity] x 100
= [$1,100 / $2,300] x 100
= 47.83%
