Answer:

a. Ratio of fixed assets to long term liabilities = Fixed assets / Long term liabilities = $3,300,000/$2,000,000 = 1.6

b. Ratio of liabilities to stockholders equity = Total liabilities/Total stockholders equity = $3,000,000/$5,000,000 = 0.6

c. Ratio of net sales to assets =  Net sales / Average Total assets(Excluding investments)

= $18,900,000 / [(7,000,000+8,000,000)/2] - 3,000,000

= $18,900,000 / 7,500,000 - 3,000,000

= $18,900,000 / $4,500,000

= 4.2

Note: Total assets at the end of the year = $3,000,000+$5,000,000 = $8,000,000
