Prepare a ratio analyses using the formulas presented on page 627. If a ratio not applied to Carton Co., write N/A.

1. Current Ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

= (40000+25000+20000)/60000

= 1.42

2. Quick Ratio = (Cash and short term investments + Accounts Receivable)/ Current Liabilities

= (40000+25000)/60000

= 1.08

3. Liquidity Ratio = (Cash and short term investments)/current Liabilities

= 40000/60000

= 0.67

4. Gross Profit Ratio = (Gross Profit / Net sales)*100

= 40000/85000*100

= 0.470588 * 100

= 47.06%

5. Operating Cost Ratio = (Operating Cost / Net sales)*100

= (45000+15000)/85000*100

= 70.59%

6. Operating profit Ratio = (operating profit/Net sales)*100

= (Gross Profit - Operating Expenses)/Net sales * 100

= (40000-15000)/85000*100

= 29.41%

7. Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit/Net Sales * 100

= 20000/85000*100

= 23.53%

8. Return on shareholder's Fund = Net Profit After Interest And Taxes/ Shareholders Funds * 100

= 20000/150000*100

= 13.33%

9. Return on Capital employed = Net Profit Before interest and Tax / (Total Assets - Current Liabilities)*100

= (20000+5000)/(295000-60000)*100

= 10.64%

10. Return on Total Assets = Net Profit Before interest and Tax / Total Assets * 100
