5. Profitability ratios
Profitability ratios help in the analysis of the combined impact of liquidity ratios, asset management ratios, and debt management ratios on the
operating performance of a firm.
Your boss has asked you to calculate the profitability ratios of Diusitech Inc. and make comments on its second-year performance as compared with its
first-year performance.
The following shows Diusitech Inc.'s income statement for the last two years. The company had assets of $4,700 million in the first year and $7,518
million in the second year. Common equity was equal to $2,500 million in the first year, and the company distributed 100% of its earnings out as
dividends during the first and the second years. In addition, the firm did not issue new stock during either year.

Which of the following statements are true about profitability ratios? Check all that apply.
If a company has a net profit margin of 10%, it means that the company earned a net income of $0.10 for each dollar of sales.
If a company’s operating margin increases but its profit margin decreases, it could mean that the company paid more in interest or taxes.
An increase in the return on assets ratio implies an increase in the assets a firm owns.
If a company issues new common shares but its net income does not increase, return on common equity will increase.
The following table contains information about Wal-Mart (WMT) and Nordstrom (JWN). Compute their respective ROEs and then determine how much Wal-Mart would need to increase its profit margin in order to match Nordstrom’s ROE.
