Part A
1.
Profitability Ratio:
1) Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales Revenue x100%
Year 2011:
Gross profit = £11,740
Sales revenue = £25,300
Gross profit margin = 11,740 / 25,300 x100 = 0.464 x 100 = 46.4%
Year 2010:
Gross profit = £11,700
Sales revenue = £22,000
Gross profit margin = 11,700 / 22,000 x100 = 0.531 x 100 = 53.1%
Decreasing in the gross profit margin by 6.7% is high percentage.
2) Net Profit Margin = Operating profit / Sales x 100%
Year 2011:
Operating profit = £4,340
Sales = £25,300
Net profit margin = 4,340 / 25,300 x100 = 0.171 x 100 = 17.1%
Year 2010:
Operating profit = £6,700
Sales = £22,000
Net profit margin = 6,700 / 22,000 x100 = 0.304 x100 = 30.4%
Decreasing in the net profit margin by the percentage of 13.3%.
3) Return On Capital Employed = (Operating Profit/Share capital +reserves +non-current liabilities) x 100%
Year 2011:
Operating profit = £4,340
Share capital = £7,400
Reserves = £3,300
Non-current liabilities = £7,000
Return on capital employed = ( 4,340 / 7,400 + 3,300 + 7,000 ) x 100 = 0.25 x100
