Answer:
= 12.5%
Explanation:
<em>Profit margin ration is the the percentage of sales that a business earns as profit. In the context of a division, the higher the figure, the better and the more profitable the operation of the division. The profit margin ratio is computed as follows:</em>
Profit margin ratio = Net operating profit/ Sales× 100
Industrial profit margin ratio
Net operating margin - 218,000
Net Sales - 1,750,000
Profit margin ratio
= 218,000/1,750,000 × 100
= 12.5%
Answer:
Historical cost principle
Explanation:
Assets must be recorded at cost value, not market value. When you record an asset, you cannot change its value every period, you have to keep using the historical value. This is why we use a separate account to record accumulated depreciation of assets, so that the purchase cost is always constant, but the net carrying value will vary depending on depreciation expense.
Market value changes and can be very volatile. Imagine a house, whose initial value was $300,000, then it increased to $500,000 but the market went down and its value was $350,000. It would be a mess to change the value and pay capital gains taxes, or then report a loss.
