Available Options Are:
a. Cost of Goods Sold
b. Net Profit Margin
c. None of these
d. Asset Turnover
Answer:
Option B. Net Profit Margin
Explanation:
The increase or decrease in cost of Goods sold can not tell whether the return on assets has increased or decreased becuase it would only tell that the expense are decreased or increased not the profit. Which means it only tells one side of the story hence Option A is incorrect.
Option B is correct because it talks about the profit. If the manufacturing cost has been decreased then the it must increase the profit. Because if the profits has increased then the return on asset will increase. Hence the Option B is correct here.
Option D is incorrect because asset turnover formula is:
Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
The decrease in manufacturing cost will not increase the sales because sales and total assets are independent of manufacturing expenses hence the Option D is incorrect.
The best answer for this question would be A. :)

Both mutual funds and money market funds are similar in the sense that they pool money from several investors in a variety of instruments. The difference is that money market funds pool the money in very liquid, short-term securities, while mutual funds do the same but in less liquid, longer-term securities.
