    a. Gross profit rate = Gross profit / sales

    = $710,000 * 100

    $1,230,000

    = 57.72%

    b. Supreme Operating Income

    Gross Profit $710,000

    Operating expenses (440,000)

    Operating Profit 270,000

    c. Return on Asset = Return / Average Asset

    = $390,000 * 100

    $4,000,000

    = 9.75%

    d. Return on equity = Return / Average equity

    = $390,000 * 100

    $2,400,000

    = 16.25%

    e. Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share / earnings per share

    = $88 / $4

    = 22
