Calculate all of the ratios listed in the industry table for East Coast yachts. 1. The calculations for the ratios listed are: Current ratio = $14,651,000 / $19,539,000 = 0.75 times Quick ratio = ($14,651,000 – 6,136,000) / $19,539,000 = 0.44 times Total asset turnover = $167,310,000 / $108,615,000 = 1.54 times Inventory turnover = $117,910,000 / $6,136,000 =19.22 times Receivables turnover = $167,310,000 / $5,473,000 = 30.57 times Total debt ratio = ($108,615,000 – 55,341,000) / $108,615,000 = 0.49 times Debt-equity ratio = ($19,539,000 + 33,735,000) / $55,341,000 = 0.96 times Equity multiplier = $108,615,000 / $55,341,000 = 1.96 times Interest coverage = $23,946,000 / $3,009,000 = 7.96 times Profit margin = $12,562,200 / $167,310,000 = 7.51% Return on assets = $12,562,200 / $108,615,000 = 11.57% Return on equity = $12,562,000 / $55,341,000 = 22.70%
2. Compare the performance of East Coast Yachts to the industry as a whole. For each ratio comment on why it might be viewed as positive or negative relative to the industry.
