    See below

    Explanation:

    The following ratios are calculable with the information.

    Profit margin

    Margin = Net profit / Sales

    2019 = 110 / $5,501 = 1.99%

    2020 = 85 / 4750 = 1.79%

    Assets Turnover

    AT = Sales / Total assets

    2019 = 5,501 / 3,250 = 1.69 times

    2020 = 4750 / 2850 = 1.66 times

    Inventory Turnover

    IT = Cost of goods sold / { (opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2]

    Inventory Turnover for 2020 = 3300 / [ (1150+1250) / 2]

    Inventory turnover = 2.75 times

    Gross margin

    Gross profit = Gross profit / Sales

    2019 = (5501-3701) / 5501 = 32.7%

    2020 = (4750-3300) / 4750 = 30.5%

    Hope these are what you are looking for.
