The computations are as follows

a. Profit margin

= Net Income available to common stockholders : Net Sales

= $5.2 Million : $14.5 Million

= 35.86%

b. Gross profit margin

= Gross Profit : Net Sales

= $9.90 Million : $14.5 Million

= 68.28%

c. Operating profit margin

= EBIT : Net Sales

= $7.60 Million : $14.5 Million

= 52.41%

d. Basic earning power

= EBIT : Total Assets

= $7.6 Million : $54.5 Million

= 13.94%

e. Return on assets

= Net Income available to common stockholders : Total Assets

= $5.2 Million : $54.5 Million

= 9.54%
