Answer:

(a) Profit margin for A = 5.40%, For division B =9.25% (b) Division B has a superior higher profit margin

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that

Division A has a profit = 150,000

sales = $2,780,000

Division B profit = $28,400

Sales =$307,000

Now

(a)We compute for the margin profit for each division which is giving below:

Profit margin=Profit/Sales

Profit margin for A=(150000/2,780,000)

=5.40%

Profit margin for B = (28400/307000)

=9.25%

(b The division B is superior having higher profit margin.
