Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": capital turnover or sales margin.

Explanation:

Return on Investment, or ROI, measures the amount of return on an investment relative to the cost of investment. The return of an investment is divided by its cost to calculate ROI. The result is expressed as a percentage or as a ratio. Investments with positive ROI are likely to be successful while those with negative figures are possible to end up in losses.

<em>To increase a division's ROI, the firm can increase the capital turnover (capital assets that allow the company to profit) or the sales margin (the difference between costs and the net profit of selling a unit of a product).</em>

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: $Value added by farmer = $1 Value added by miller = $2 Value added by the baker = $3$

GDP contribution is $6.

Explanation: GDP refers to the market value of final goods and services produced withing the national territory of a country.

Using the value added method, we can calculate GDP by summing up the value added at each level of production.

$Value added by farmer = $1 Value added by miller = $3 -$1 = $2 Value added by the baker = $6 - $3 = $3$

$GDP = Value added by the farmer +Value added by the miller + Value added by the baker = $1 + $2 +$3 =$6$

Using the expenditure approach, GDP is the market value of the final good sold to the customer.

GDP = Cost of bread to the engineer = $6
