Answer 1

19.05%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Lumber Revenues = $120,000

Hardware Revenues = $90,000

Cost of Sales = $130,000

All other costs and expenses = $35,000

Investment Income = $8,000

Income Tax Expense = $13,000

Net Income = $40,000

Now,

The net profit margin = [( Net income) ÷ (Total revenue ) ] × 100%

or

The net profit margin = [ $40,000 ÷ ( $120,000 + $90,000 ) ] × 100%

or

The net profit margin = [ $40,000 ÷ $210,000 ] × 100%

or

The net profit margin = 0.1905 × 100%

or

The net profit margin = 19.05%
