Solution

Solution:

Total Assets Turnover ratio = Net Sales / Average total assets

= $455,600 / $265,550 = 1.7156 times

Return on total assets = Earning before interest & taxes / Average total assets

= ($32,814 + $22,136 + 4,800) / $265,550 *100 = 22.50%

Return on common shareholder\'s equity = Net income after taxes and preference dividend / Average common shareholders equity * 100

= $32,814 / ($86000 + $82,050)*100 = 19.53%
