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.

Below are various states of financial distress: 1. defaulting on a principal payment on debt 2. restructuring debt 3. liquidatin

anastassius [24]

<span>1) failing to make a required interest payment on time. I chose this as the least significant because you can always make up a late payment and then its not really a huge deal. It could hurt your credit score but it is not a life or death situation. 2) defaulting on a principal payment on debt. This is a little worse because at this point you cant cant even pay the debt and now your falling a little worse into debt but you can still get out. 3) restructuring debt. This is worse because you already have obtained a lot of debt but you are getting the chance to restructure it to help pay it off you even though your in a bad spot you still have a chance to get out. 4) filing for bankruptcy. At this point you are bankrupt you really don't have a lot of options left and you are kind of at the point of no return unless you can get a hold of a lot of cash really fast. 5) liquidating a firm. At this point you have to sell all of your assets in order to pay of your debt. You will be left with nothing left you may even have to sell you house all your jewelry basically everything that you own that has some value that can be sold.</span>
