Answer 1

Answer:

1. 28.09 %

2.0.50 times

3.13.97 %

Explanation:

Margin = Profit / Sales × 100

            = $ 5,000,000 / $ 17,800,000 × 100

            = 28.09 % (2 decimal places.)

Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

               = $ 17,800,000 / $ 35,800,000

               = 0.50 times (2 decimal places.)

Return on investment = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets employed in the  division × 100

                                    =  $ 5,000,000 / $ 35,800,000 × 100

                                    = 13.97 % (2 decimal places.)
