Explanation

                            Adom limited
                        Accounting ratios

(a) Gross profit percentage = \(\frac{\text{gross profit}}{sales}\) x 100 

= \(\frac{96,000}{240,000} x 100 = 40%

(b) Net profit percentage = \(\frac{\text{net profit}}{sales}\) x 100

= \(\frac{8,000}{240,000} x 3.33%

(c) Return on capital employed = \(\frac{\text{net profit}}{\text{capital employed}}\) x 100

= \(\frac{8,000}{142,000}\) x 100 = 5.63%

(d) Current ratio = \(\frac{\text{current asset}}{\text{current liability}}\)

= \(\frac{82,000}{40,000}\) = 2.05:1

(e) Acid test radio = \(\frac{\text{current assets stock}}{\text{current liability}}\)

= \(\frac{144,000}{28,000}\) 1.15:1

(f) Rate of stock of turnover = \(\frac{\text{Cost of goods sold}}{\text{Average stock}}\)

= \(\frac{144,000}{28,000}\) = 5.14 times

(g) Working capital = Current asset - Current liabilities
82,000 - 40,000 = 42,000

(h) Shareholders fund = Starting capital + Retained earnings
= 100,000 + 10,000 + 24,000 + 8,000 
= 142,000

(i) Liquid assets = Current assets - (Debtors + stock)
= 82,000 - (39,000 + 36,000)
= 7,000
