Introduction

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three sub-parts for you. To get the remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.

 

Current Ratio:

The Current Ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a firm's ability to pay off its current liabilities with the current assets. Higher Current Ratio is favorable than a lower current ratio because it shows the company's liquidity is as good and can more easily make current debt payments. It is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities for the accounting period.

The current assets are those which can be realized within a short period of time or within an accounting period. Current assets include cash, accounts receivables, inventories, etc.

Current Liabilities are those which are paid off within an accounting period. It includes accounts payable, unearned revenue, etc.

Formula:

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

 

Inventory Turnover Ratio:

It shows how effectively inventory is managed by comparing the cost of goods sold with the inventory for the accounting period. it measures how many times the average inventory is turned or sold. it is an important ratio because the total turnover ratio depends upon two main components of performance, Purchase, and Sale. It shows how quickly its inventory is turned to cash. Higher sales are better and so this is the ratio.

Formula:

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory

Average Inventory is calculated by adding the opening balance of inventory for the accounting period and the closing balance of the accounting period divided by 2.

Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory)/2

 

Profit Margin Ratio:

Creditors and investors use this ratio to measure how effectively a company can convert sales into net income. It is also known as Return on Sales Ratio or Net Profit Ratio. It measures the amount of net income earned with each dollar of sales. It measures the overall profitability of the sales. There may be a case where the company is efficient with its gross profit but the other expenses are too high to give good net income.

Formula:

Profit Margin Ratio = Net Income/Net Sales

 

Let us calculate the ratios as discussed above one by one:
