Liquidity Ratios:

Working capital

working capital is current assets minus current liabilities

For the year 2005 working capital = 17,706,000 - 15,927,000 = 1,779,000

For the year 2004 working capital = 16,897,000 - 14,136,000 = 2,761,000

Current ratio

For the year 2005 current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
= 17,706,000/15,927,000
= 1.11

For the year 2004 current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
= 16,897,000/14,136,000
= 1.20

Profitability Ratios:

Profit margin
Asset turnover
Return on assets
Debt to equity ratio
Return on equity

For the year 2005

Profit margin = Net Income/Net Sales
= 3,572,000/55,980,000
= 0.0638

Asset turnover = Net Sales/Total Average Assets
= 55,980,000/[(23,109,000 + 23,215,000)/2]
= 2.42

Return on assets = Net Income/Total Average Assets
= 3,572,000/[(23,109,000 + 23,215,000)/2]
= 0.15

Debt to equity ratio = Total Liabilities/Owner Equity
= 18,980,000/4,129,000
= 4.60

Return on equity = Net Income/Average Owner Equity
= 3,572,000/[(4,129,000 + 6,485,000)/2]
= 0.67

For the year 2004

Profit margin = Net Income/Net Sales
= 3,043,000/49,205,000
= 0.0618

Asset turnover = Net Sales/Total Average Assets
= 49,205,000/[(23,215,000 + 19,311,000)/2]
= 2.31

Return on assets = Net Income/Total Average Assets
= 3,043,000/[(23,215,000 + 19,311,000)/2]
= 0.14

Debt to equity ratio = Total Liabilities/Owner Equity
= 16,730,000/6,485,000
= 2.58

Return on equity = Net Income/Average Owner Equity
= 3,043,000/[(6,485,000 + 6,280,000)/2]
= 0.48
