See below

Explanation:

The following ratios are calculable with the information.

Profit margin

Margin = Net profit / Sales

2019 = 110 / $5,501 = 1.99%

2020 = 85 / 4750 = 1.79%

Assets Turnover

AT = Sales / Total assets

2019 = 5,501 / 3,250 = 1.69 times

2020 = 4750 / 2850 = 1.66 times

Inventory Turnover

IT = Cost of goods sold / { (opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2]

Inventory Turnover for 2020 = 3300 / [ (1150+1250) / 2]

Inventory turnover = 2.75 times

Gross margin

Gross profit = Gross profit / Sales

2019 = (5501-3701) / 5501 = 32.7%

2020 = (4750-3300) / 4750 = 30.5%

Hope these are what you are looking for.
