1Step 1: Meaning of Profit margin ratio

The profit margin ratio shows the rate of income that remains after all business expenses have been paid. Formula to calculate the profit margin ratio is as follows:


Profit margin ratio =Net incomeNet sales

2Step 2: (1) Calculate the profit margin ratio for 2019 and 2018

2019

Profit margin ratio =Net incomeNet sales=$23,500$181,000=0.130 or 13.0%


2018

Profit margin ratio =Net incomeNet sales=$10,500$160,000=0.066 or 6.6%

3Step 3: (2) Calculate the rate of return on total assets for 2019 and 2018.

2019

 Rate of return on total asset=Net income+Interest expenseAverage total assets=$23,500+$8,000$209,000+$187,0002=0.159 or 15.9%



2018

Rate of return on total asset=Net income+Interest expenseAverage total assets=$10,500+$12,000$187,000+$167,0002=0.127 or 12.7%

4Step 4: (3) Calculate the asset turnover ratio for 2019 and 2018.

2019

 Asset turnover ratio=Net sales revenueAverage total asset=$181,000$209,000+$187,0002=0.91 times



2018

Asset turnover ratio=Net sales revenueAverage total asset=$160,000$187,000+$167,0002=0.90 times

5Step 5: (4) Calculate the rate of return on common stockholders’ equity

2019

 Rate of return on common stockholder equity=Net incomePreferred dividendAverage common stockholder's equity=$23,500$2,000$96,000+$91,5002=0.229 or 22.9%



2018

Rate of return on common stockholder equity=Net incomePreferred dividendAverage common stockholder's equity=$10,500$2,000$91,500+$80,5002=0.090 or 9.9%

6Step 6: (5) Calculate the earnings per share for 2019 and 2018

2019

 Earning per share=Net incomePreferred dividendWeighted average number of common=$23,500$2,00015,000shares=$1.43/share


2018

Earning per share=Net incomePreferred dividendWeighted average number of common=$10,500$2,00015,000 shares+10,000 sahres2=$0.68/share

7Step 7: (6) Calculate the 2019 dividend pay-out on common stock

Dividend payout=Annual dividend per shareEarning per share=$1.13 per share$1.43 per share=0.790 or 79.0%
