Answer 1

Hi, Friend...

Hope you are also doing well.

I have tried to give the best possible answer if you have any doubts, please do mention in the comment section. I'll definitely respond in early possible time.

Ans:

Net profit margin ratio

7.2

%

Workings:

	Amount in $
Delivery service to customers (28,204 + 22,800)	51,004
Equipment & Aircraft rent (Note-1)	-12,086
Repair & Maintainance of facilities and equipment	-4,124
Employees payment	-18,526
Fuel for aircraft and equipment	-12,464
Spare parts and supplies	-114
Net Profit:	3,690

Net profit margin = Net profit / Sales X 100 = $3,690 / 51,004 X 100 = 7.23% i.e. 7.2%

Note-1: Rent for next year shall not be considered, as the same would be shown as prepaid rent in the balance sheet.

Note-2: Repaid on a long term note is a balance sheet item, the effect will be the reduction of cash balance.

Note-2: Collection and payment on account also a balance sheet item.

Thanks, Dear... Have a Wonderful Day.
