liabilities. The formula to calculate the current ratio is current assets divided by the current
liabilities. Current assets are those that can be converted into cash in very short period of time
and current liabilities means liabilities that are due in one year time period (Bull, 2007).
Current assets: $49,854.00 Current Liabilities: $6,200.00
Current ratio of company: Current assets /Current Liabilities = 8.04 times
Current ratio of the company is 8.04 times that indicates that liquidity position is very sound and
it has around 8 times the assets to pay the current liabilities.
Asset Turnover ratio: This ratio is calculated as total sales divided average total assets. This
ratio provides how many times the assets have been used to convert into the sales. This ratio is
very important for the management as it provides efficiency of the management to earn the
revenue (Bull, 2007).
Total sales: $37,812.00 Average total assets: ($47850+ $63,654.00)/2 = $ 55752.00
Asset Turnover ratio: 0.68 times
Looking at the ratio result it can be said that company has not able to utilize the assets to earn the
maximum sales revenue. So it can be said that efficiency of the company is very weak.

is calculated as net income divided by average total assets. This ratio is categories as the
profitability ratio as it tells the profitability of the company (Drake and Fabozzi, 2012).

Return on Assets: 9.78%
The company has earned the return of 9.78% on the total assets used by the company. It is not
the very good percentage but a satisfactory earning on the assets implied for use.
Debt to Equity Ratio: This ratio tells the proportion amount of debt and equity that company
has to finance various parts of assets. It is calculates as total liabilities divided by total equity
(Drake and Fabozzi, 2012).
Total Liabilities: $6,200.00 Equity capital: $57,454.00
Debt to equity ratio: 10.79 times
Company has very low amount of debt as compare to equity so it can be said that company has
very good capital structure.
Debt Ratio: It is calculated as debt divided by the total assets. In short it tells amount of debt
capital is used to finance the assets of the company.
Total assets: $63,654.00 Total Liabilities: $6,200.00

calculated as equity capital divided by the total assets (Drake and Fabozzi, 2012).
Total assets: $63,654.00 Equity capital: $57,454.00

Company has very good ratio that shows company depends mainly on owner’s capital not on the
debt source of capital.
