For future reference investopedia is a great resource to use to get all of those financial ratios and then some. They will explain how to work them out and interpret them.

It would have been better if you had asked for the attempt made by OP. However, there are a few points in your answer which need your consideration.

1. In calculating debt equity ratio, you have ignored the fact that equity for both the years is the same at $1,468,000. It does not include net income of $417,600 for the year 2008. How is that possible?

2. In calculating inventory turnover ratio you have taken the figure of finished goods only? Any specific reason for excluding raw materials inventory?

3. Working capital required on (6) is to be based on the requirements of the firm as they are requesting for working capital finance.

I would agree with using finished goods only, since inventory turnover is showing a relationship to sales (how many times you've "sold inventory"), and raw materials are not sold.

Perhaps I am not as intelligent as you are but I think without raw materials and work in process, how do you expect to get finished goods.

As far as my limited knowledge goes Inventory also includes raw materials and work in process.

If you include raw materials in inventory, the time taken to convert raw materials into finished goods can be helpful for making decisions.

I can see the point in wanting a total conversion cycle. But since turnover is indicating how fast inventory is selling, I don't get the idea of adding them. I could more see them being done individually.

None of my cost books, including the big more advanced one, has turnover for manufacturing inventories in it. (This is probably only the second time ever I've seen it asked in homework.) So I tried to look online without much luck, but I did find one source that talked of them being calculated individually.
