2. Compute profit margin.
3. Compute investment turnover for the year.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. Return on Investment

ROI= Operating income/Average invested assets

Beverage Division ROI = 358 / (2,680+2,602) /2

= 358 / 2,641

= 0.13555

= 13.56%

Cheese Division ROI = 643 / (4,473 + 4,409)/2

= 643 / 4,441

= 0.14478

= 14.48%

b.  Profit margin

Profit Margin= Operating income / Sales

Beverage Division = 358 / 2690

= 0.13309

=13.31%

Cheese Division = 643 / 3934

= 0.16345

= 16.35%

c. Investment turnover for the year

Investment turnover = Sales / Average invested assets

Beverage Division = 2690 / 2641 = 1.02

Cheese Division = 3934 / 4441 = 0.89
