Explanation:

Given

Sales for the year =  $ 17,700,000

Net Operating Income =  $ 5,300,000

Average Operating Assets =  $ 35,100,000

a)Profit margin = (Net operating income/Net sales ) x 100%

= $5,300,000/$17,700,000 x 100%  = 29.94%.

This shows that the Alyeska Services company has ability to turn income to profit by  29.94%

b.  Asset Turnover =  Total Sales/ Average Total Assets  = $17,700,000/$35,100,000 = 0.50

c. Return on investment (ROI) =Net income/Total investment  x 100%

 = $ 5,300,000/ $ 35,100,000 x 100% =15.09%
