Answer:

The answers are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1.a.

Profit Margin = Net Income ÷ Sales × 100

= $374 ÷ $6,900 ×100

= 5.4%

1-b:

Average Assets = (Beginning Assets + Ending Assets) ÷ 2

= ($3,200 + $3,600)  ÷ 2

= $3,400

Now  

Return on Assets = Net Income ÷ Average Assets

= $374 ÷ $3,400

= 11%

1-c

Average Equity = ($700 + $700 + $320 + $270) ÷ 2

= $995

Now  

Return on Equity = Net Income ÷  Average Equity *100

= $374 ÷ $995

= 37.59%

2:

Dividends Paid = Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income – Ending Retained Earnings

= $270 + $374 - $320

= $324
