Answer:

profit margin = 23.33%

Explanation:

profit margin = net profit /  net sales

  • net profit = $2,800
  • net sales = $12,000

profit margin = $2,800 / $12,000 = 0.233333 = 23.33%

The profit margin is a profitability ratio used to compare how many cents different companies are able to make from selling $1. Different companies have different sales levels, but we can group companies by industries and then compare them in order to determine which ones are more efficient at generating income. E.g. Company A sells $100 million but only makes $2 million in profits per year (PM = 2%), and it is much less efficient than Company B that sells $10 million and makes $1 in profits (PM  = 10%). Company A's costs are too high compared to Company B's costs.

Herman Company has three products in its ending inventory. Specific per unit data at the end of the year for each of the product
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the lower of cost or market (LCM) rule which is shown below:

For Product 1

The Cost is $20

And, the market value = Selling price - selling cost - normal profit margin

                                     = $40 - $6 - $5

                                     = $29

So, the lower value would be $20

For Product 2

The Cost is $90

And, the market value = Selling price - selling cost

                                     = $120 - $40

                                     = $80

So, the lower value would be $80

For Product 3

The Cost is $50

And, the market value = Selling price - selling cost - normal profit margin

                                     = $70 - $10 - $12

                                     = $48

So, the lower value would be $48

In the product 2, the replacement cost is 85 and the market value without considering the normal profit margin is $80 which is less than the replacement cost that's why we do not take the normal profit margin
