b. 3.10 times

c. 18.60%

Explanation:

The computations are given below

As we know that

a. Profit margin is

= Income from operation : Sales * 100

= $25,854 : $430,900

= 6.00%

b. Investment turnover is

= Sales : Invested assets

= $430,900 : $139,000

= 3.10 times

And,

c. Return on investment is

= Profit margin * investment turnover

= 6 * 3.1 times

= 18.60%

Therefore, we use the above formulas
