Answer 1

1. 28.09 %

2.0.50 times

3.13.97 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin = Profit / Sales × 100

= $ 5,000,000 / $ 17,800,000 × 100

= 28.09 % (2 decimal places.)

Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

= $ 17,800,000 / $ 35,800,000

= 0.50 times (2 decimal places.)

Return on investment = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets employed in the division × 100

= $ 5,000,000 / $ 35,800,000 × 100

= 13.97 % (2 decimal places.)
