A. Profit margin

D. Total asset turnover

Explanation:

Profit margin is a measure of a company's operating efficiency because it measures what percentage of sales revenue actually turns into profit after making all the corresponding deductions (operating expenses, interest expenses, tax expenses).

A high profit margin means that the company is efficient in obtaining profits from its main operating activity.

Total asset turnover is also a measure of a company's operating efficiency because it establishes the amount of sales revenue as a percentage of the company's total assets. In other words, it measures how good the company is in turning its assets into revenue.
