Answer 1

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have net operating income as sales x contribution margin. The fixed expense would be subtracted from the resulting value.

2,240000 * 0.5

= 1,112,000

1112000 - 1008000

= 112000

The margin =

112000/2240000

= 0.05

Also 5 percent

The margin for this investment opportunity is closest to 5 percent.
