Explanation:

2017 - 2016

Profit Margin 1,5%  - 1,9%   ===>  Net Income/Sales

Assets Turnover Time    1,64  - 1,66   ===>  Sales / Total Assets

Return on Assets 2,5% - 3,1 %   ===>  Net Income / Total Assets  

Return on common stockholders’ equity 8,2%  -  9,2%  ===>   Net Income / Stockholder's Equity

Gross Profit Rate 23,7% - 35,2%   ===>  Gross Margin (Sales-COGS) / Sales
