Answer:

a. 5 %

b. 4.00

c. 20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) the profit margin,

profit margin = Net Income / Sales x 100

= $36,000 / $720,000 x 100

= 5 %

(b) the investment turnover, and

investment turnover = Sales ÷ Total Assets

= $720,000 ÷ $180,000

= 4.00

(c) the return on investment

return on investment = Net Income ÷ Total Assets

= $36,000 /$180,000 x 100

= 20 %
