Question 3

The following information was taken from the income statement and balance sheet of The Mickey Company for the years 2010 and 2011:
 $$\begin{array} { l r r } 
& \underline { 2011 } & \underline { 2010 } \
\text { Sales revenues } & \$ 30,752 & \$ 27,061 \

\text { Total stockholders' equity } & 26,081 & 23,791
\end{array}$$ Compute the following ratios for 2011:
 Net profit margin,Asset turnover,and Return on assets.

Accepted Answer

To compute the financial ratios for The Mickey Company for the year 2011, we will use the information provided from the income statement and balance sheet. The ratios we will calculate are the Net Profit Margin, Asset Turnover, and Return on Assets.1. Net Profit Margin:
The Net Profit Margin is calculated by dividing Net Income by Sales Revenues and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
$$ \text{Net Profit Margin} = \left( \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Sales Revenues}} \right) \times 100 $$
For 2011:
$$ \text{Net Profit Margin} = \left( \frac{2,345}{30,752} \right) \times 100 $$
$$ \text{Net Profit Margin} = (0.0762) \times 100 $$
$$ \text{Net Profit Margin} = 7.62\% $$
2. Asset Turnover:
The Asset Turnover ratio measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate sales and is calculated by dividing Sales Revenues by Total Assets.
$$ \text{Asset Turnover} = \frac{\text{Sales Revenues}}{\text{Total Assets}} $$
For 2011:
$$ \text{Asset Turnover} = \frac{30,752}{53,902} $$
$$ \text{Asset Turnover} = 0.5706 $$
3. Return on Assets (ROA):
The Return on Assets ratio indicates how profitable a company is relative to its total assets and is calculated by dividing Net Income by Total Assets.
$$ \text{Return on Assets} = \left( \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Total Assets}} \right) \times 100 $$
For 2011:
$$ \text{Return on Assets} = \left( \frac{2,345}{53,902} \right) \times 100 $$
$$ \text{Return on Assets} = (0.0435) \times 100 $$
$$ \text{Return on Assets} = 4.35\% $$
In summary, for the year 2011, The Mickey Company had a Net Profit Margin of 7.62%, an Asset Turnover of 0.5706, and a Return on Assets of 4.35%.
