Answer 1

1. Debt-Equity Ratio

Debt = Long Term Borrowings = Rs 12,00,0000

Equity = Share Capital + Reserve and Surplus

= 10,00,000 + 9,00,000

= Rs 19,00,000

2. Working Capital Turnover Ratio

Revenue from Operations = Rs 18, 00,000

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

= 18,00,000 – 5,00,000

= Rs 13,00,000

3. Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio

Net Credit Sales = Rs 18,00,000

Average Trade Receivables = Rs 9,00,000

Notes:
1. Revenue from Operations are assumed to be revenue generated from credit sales.

2. The amount of trade receivables given in the Balance Sheet is assumed to be Average Trade Receivables.
