Question

Sales $200,000 Net income 100,000 Depreciation 20,000 Interest 10,000 Taxes 5,000 What is the company’s operating profit margin?

Answer 1

Answer:

57.5%

Explanation:

Data Provided:

Total Sales =  $ 200,000

The net income = $ 100,000

Depreciation = $ 20,000

Interest = $ 10,000

Taxes = $ 5,000

Now,

the operating profit is the from the income before the taxes and interest. Thus,

the interest and taxes will be included in the net income for the operating profit

therefore,

The operating profit = income + Interest + Taxes

or

The operating profit = $ 100,000 + $ 10,000 + $ 5,000 = $ 115,000

Now,

the operating profit margin = ( Operating profit / Sales ) × 100

or

= ( $ 115,000 / $200,000 ) × 100 = 57.5%
