Explanation of Solution

Cash return on assets: Cash return on assets is the ratio that indicates the profit generated from the operating cash flows using the total assets of the company. It measures the operating cash flows earned per dollar of assets.

Cash Return on Assets=Operating cash flows Average Total Assets

Given, Operating cash flow of Incorporation AE is $394,426 and total assets at beginning and at ending are $1,816,313 and $1,782,660 respectively.

Calculate Incorporation AE’s cash return on assets:

Cash Return on Assets=Operating cash flows Average Total Assets=$394,426($1,816,313+$1,782,660)÷2=$394,426$1,799,487=21.9%

Therefore, cash return on assets of Incorporation AE is 21.9%.

Cash flow to sales: Cash flow to sales ratio is used to determine the amount of operating cash flows that is being generated per dollar of revenue or sales.

Cash flow to sales=Operating cash flowsNet Sales 

Given, Operating cash flow is $394,426 and net sales revenue is $3,795,549.

Calculate Incorporation AE’s cash flow to sales:

Cash flow to sales=Operating cash flowsNet Sales =$394,426$3,795,549=10.4%

Therefore, profit margin of Incorporation AE is 10.4%.

Total Asset turnover: Total asset turnover is a ratio that measures the productive capacity of the total assets to generate the sales revenue for the company. Thus, it shows the relationship between the net sales and the average total fixed assets.

Total Assets turnoverratio=NetSalesRevenueAveragetotalAssets

Given, net sales are $3,795,549 and total assets at beginning and at ending are $1,816,313 and $1,782,660 respectively.

Compute Incorporation AE’s total assets turnover:

Total Assets turnoverratio=NetSalesRevenueAveragetotalAssets=$3,795,549($1,816,313+$1,782,660)÷2=$3,795,549$1,799,487=2.1times

Therefore, Incorporation AE’s total asset turnover is 2.1 times.

Explanation of Solution

Cash return on assets: Cash return on assets is the ratio that indicates the profit generated from the operating cash flows using the total assets of the company. It measures the operating cash flows earned per dollar of assets.

Cash Return on Assets=Operating cash flows Average Total Assets

Given, operating cash flows of Incorporation B is $119,721 and total assets at beginning and at ending are $538,116 and $579,847 respectively.

Calculate Incorporation B’s cash return on assets:

Return on Assets (ROA)=NetIncomeAverageTotalAssets=$119,721($538,116+$579,847)÷2=$119,721$558,982=21.4%

Therefore, return on assets of Incorporation B is 21.4%.

Cash flow to sales: Cash flow to sales ratio is used to determine the amount of operating cash flows that is being generated per dollar of revenue or sales.

Cash flow to sales=Operating cash flowsNet Sales 

Given, operating cash flows is $119,721 and net sales revenue is $913,380.

Calculate Incorporation B’s profit margin:

Cash flow to sales=Operating cash flowsNet Sales Revenue=$119,721$913,380=13.1%

Therefore, profit margin of Incorporation B is 13.1%.

Total Asset turnover: Total asset turnover is a ratio that measures the productive capacity of the total assets to generate the sales revenue for the company. Thus, it shows the relationship between the net sales and the average total fixed assets.

Total Assets turnoverratio=NetSalesRevenueAveragetotalAssets

Given, net sales are $913,380 and total assets are at beginning and at ending are $538,116 and $579,847 respectively.

Compute Incorporation B’s total assets turnover:

Total Assets turnoverratio=NetSalesRevenueAveragetotalAssets=$913,380($538,116+$579,847)÷2=$913,380$558,982=1.6times

Therefore, Incorporation B’s total asset turnover is 1.6 times.
