Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Company’s ROI is 34.58%
  2. Company’s profit margin ratio is 0.0288 or 2.88%. It means of the sales revenue i.e., 100%, 2.88% is left as net income after meeting cost of goods sold and all operating expenses.
  3. Company’s asset turnover ratio 12:1 it shows the efficiency of asset to generate sales revenue.
  4. The expanded ROI shows the same result i.e., 34.58% as company’s ROI.

Company’s RI is $22,900.
