2. Queensland division manager seems to be doing the better job.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Division                                                      Queensland       New South

                                                                                                 Wales

Sales                                                        $ 1,219,000       $ 2,550,000

Average operating assets                       $ 530,000           $ 510,000

Net operating income                                 $ 73,140             $ 76,500

Property, plant, and equipment (net)     $ 253,000           $ 203,000

Profit margin = (NOI/Sales * 100)                  6%                         3%

Asset turnover = (Sales/AOA)                      2.3x                       5x

NOI = Net operating income

AOA = Average operating assets

Return on investment (ROI) = Profit margin * Asset turnover

=                                                                  2.6%                      0.6%
