(Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

Answer 1

Answer:

16.80% and 39.43%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the net profit margin is shown below:

Net profit margin = Net income ÷ Total revenues × 100

For Travel lite, the net profit margin is

= $1,080 ÷ $6,430 × 100

= 16.80%

And, for fare line, the net profit margin is

= $3,020 ÷ $7,660 × 100

= 39.43%

By dividing the net income or net profit by the total revenues we can get the net profit margin or we can say it is profit percentage that is earned by the company

It is always expressed in percentage
