b. $6,510.
c. $104,160.
d. $26,040.

Answer 1

Answer: Nacho's operating income= b. $6,510.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the Total Asset of the Divison.

Asset turnover = Sales/ Total Assets

Total Assets = Sales/ Asset turnover

= $217,000/ 4

Asset turnover=$54,250

Also Return on investment = Operating Income/ Total Assets

Therefore Operating Income=Return on investment x Total Assets

= 12% X 54,250

=$6,510
