2. Profit margin 13.15% 16.24%
3. Investment turnover 1.02 0.89
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beverage Division Cheese Division
Invested assets, beginning $ 2,669 $ 4,462
Invested assets, ending 2,597 4,404
Average invested assets $ 2,633 $ 4,433
Sales 2,685 3,929
Operating income 353 638
Return on investment 12.89% 18.25%
Profit margin 13.15% 16.24%
Investment turnover 1.02 0.89
Return on investment = Profit margin/Investment turnover
Beverage = 13.15%/1.02 = 12.89%
Cheese = 16.24%/0.89 = 18.25%
Profit margin = Operating income/Sales * 100
Beverage = $353/2,685 * 100 = 13.15%
Cheese = $638/3,929 * 100 = 16.24%
Investment turnover = Sales/Average invested assets
Beverage = $2,685/$2,633 = 1.02
Cheese = $3,929/$4,433 = 0.89
