ROCE: Return on Capital Employed

(100 x Net Profit) / Capital Employed

Net Profit= $25,000

Capital= $55,000

Acid Test Ratio= (Debtors + Cash) : Current Liabilities

= (50+10) :  30

= 60:30

= 2 : 1

For every $1 of liabilities the business has, it has $2 of assets that can be turned into cash.

Gross Profit Margin= gross profit / sales

Net Profit Margin= net profit / sales

G.P.M= $100,000 sales, $50,000 gross

G.P.M= $50,000 / $100,000 = 0.5

=$0.5 per $1 sales

N.P.M= $100,000 sales, $40,000 net

N.P.M= $40,000 / $100,000 = 0.4

=$0.4 per $1 sales

Working Capital= current assets:current liabilities

Working capital= 10,000 current assets : 5,000 current liabilities

Working Capital= 2:1
