    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    EBIT = 5.8 percent of sales

    = 0.058 * $137,000

    = $7,946

    Earning before tax (EBT) = EBIT - Interest

    = $7,946 - $4,700

    = $3,246

    Earning after tax or net income = Earning before tax - Tax @34%

    = $3,246 - $1,103.64

    = $2,142.36

    Profit margin ratio = Net income : Net sales

    = $2,142.36 : $137,000

    = 0.0156 or 1.56%
