Answer:Profit margin = 29.94%

Asset Turnover =0.50

Return on investment (ROI) =15.09%

Step-by-step 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%
