Answer 1

The company’s profit margin for the current year ended December 31 (rounded to the nearest decimal point) is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the Profit Margin

Profit Margin =
`(Net Income)/(Net Sales) X 100`

Where

Net Income = $20,000

Net Sales = $100,000

Placing values in the formula

Profit Margin =
`(20000)/(100000) X 100`

Profit Margin = 0.2 x 100

Profit Margin = 20%
