(a) Weber’s net income is $136,000 ($890,000 – $620,000 –$59,000 –
$10,000 – $65,000).
Its earnings per share is $.34 ($136,000 ÷ 400,000 shares).
(b) Weber’s 2014 working capital of $400,000 ($700,000 – $300,000) is over
(c) Al Sharif appears to be less solvent. Al Sharif’s 2014 debt to assets ratio
of 34% ($265,000 ÷ $780,000)a is slightly higher than Weber’s ratio of 33%
($500,000 ÷ $1,500,000)b. The lower the percentage of debt to assets, the
lower the risk that a company may be unable to pay its debts as they
come due.
