A company decides that some agents deal with policies that involve X amount of risk.

It is basically a clearance level where employees are authorized up to this amount, and above that amount, other employees must be involved.
Answer:
a. Asset turnover = Sales/Average total assets
Asset turnover= 515.7/[(930.9+920.1)/2]
Asset turnover = 515.7 / 925.5
Asset turnover = 0.5572123
Asset turnover = 0.557
b. Return on Assets = Net income/Average total assets
Return on Assets= 80.7/[(930.9+920.1)/2]
Return on Assets = 80.7 / 925.5
Return on Assets = 0.08719
Return on Assets= 8.72%
c. Profit Margin = Net income/Sales
Profit Margin = 80.7/515.7
Profit Margin = 15.65%
