    A. 20%

    B. 1.6

    C 32%

    D. 15%

    E. 1.6

    Explanation:

    (1) Margin = operatin income / net sales

    = 300,000/1,500,000

    = 20%

    (2) turonver = sales / Average total assets

    = 1,500,000/$937,500

    = 1.6

    (3) ROI = 1.6*20 = 32%

    (4) Margin = 580,000 * 70% - 319,000

    =406,000-319,000

    = $87, 000

    = 87,000/580,000 = 15%

    (5) Turnover = 580,000/362,500 = 1.6
