Answer: 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin = Net operating income/ Sales

Net operating income is used in the ROI formula;

ROI = Net operating income/ Average operating assets

27.2% = Net operating income / 289,000

Net operating income = 289,000 * 27.2%

= $78,608

Margin = 78,608/491,300

= 16%
